INTRODUCTION

Purchasing a computer floppy drive is generally not a crucial consideration or an expensive consideration. Below we have listed different tips and ideas for when purchasing a computer floppy drive.

CONSIDERATIONS

 

Cables When looking at purchasing a floppy drive, ensure it is included with the necessary cables. Most computers will already have a floppy cable; however, if you are building a computer, this cable will likely be needed.

Type Consider different options. Today, the floppy drive is slowly becoming extinct and there are other options, such as the Imation Super Disk drive. This drive allows for the computer to read standard floppy disks and can also read special 120MB floppy diskettes. Before considering the Imation Super Disk drive, ensure that your BIOS will support this option.
