The Floppy Disk Drive


The floppy drive is slowly, but surely, becoming obsolete. Only capable of storing 1.44 megabytes of data per disk; it has very limited usefulness. Storage space on CDs and DVDs is hundreds or thousands of times greater. Quick and easy portable data storage is conveniently handled by USB flash drives.

Once all software is designed to support other mediums, little or need will exist for the trusty old floppy.
