Toshiba Floppy disk drive 1.44 MB

Advantages: ALMOST NOTHING
Disadvantages: ALMOST EVERYTHING

...FLOPPY DISK A very good device to save some of your stuff. 1.44mb is not much of a very big space. It is not worth it but the price you pay is comparatively small. There are more devices like USB and Mp3 players which costs just bit more and gives more space. To be precise in 1.44 mb you can just save about ONE or two JPG image. if u need something to save your project in or which you might need for long it is not worth it. it is worth for some one who just wants to save some word documents. The another disadvantage which is kind of a major one is that the laptops don't have a floppy drive built in. You need an external Floppy drive to make this thing work in the laptop. Hope this is useful.... Read review

Disadvantages: none so far

...Having recently had my computer pack up on me whilst moving house I decided to go out and get a new all singing all dancing one to replace it. What I did not even think of checking out as did it have a floppy drive on it! And of cours like a lot of modern machines it did not. Well I only use the floppy to back up my accounts and take them to the accountant so he can do my year end, which i had done on the old machine so when the disk came back there was a big problem so I sent for one of these drives as i did not want to open the case and start poking about. Talk about easy I plugged it into the usb and away windows xp whent and installed it and allocated it drive a so it worked with my trusty old accounts program with no messing about. compared to the fixed drive on my old computer i find it a bit slow but so far very reliable...
