Floppy disk drive

In this 21st century there is hardly anyone in million who do not use computers .It’s because we have overtaken technology and want everything in matter of a click. So I am sure, if you spent maximum time with a computer, then there are chances that you have to use floppy disk drive at some point of time. For nearly 20 years; it was a primary means for adding data to a computer until CD-Rom was introduced. But with the growing need of the hour simply a floppy disk or CD-ROM will not work out. So external USB Floppy Disk Drives are now available with the additional features such as:
• Can work with Apple Mac, Window Vista, Windows 7 and Windows PCs.
• No device drivers needed.
• No Power, can work on USB Power.
• Portable-Ultra slim and light weighted.
• Automatic swapping, need not restart when disconnected or connected.
• Makes less noise due to superior quality materials.
• Available at affordable price.
Generally floppy disks are incompatible and therefore can be loaded with correct drive only. This problem is overcome by the external USB’s which are compatible with all drives. Secondly, the data in floppy disk are written in sectors and tracks which is normally not and efficient way to use disk space. A more efficient way is to increase the number of tracks and sectors which is usually performed in the USB’s.Now let me introduce you to the interesting facts about Floppy Disk Drive:
• If you store two floppy disk together they do not get corrupted due to low magnetism.
• If you want to redisplay data on disk drive after modifying, you can do by tapping f5 key.
• If you uncover the hole in 3.5 inch disk by moving the slider, one can protect the data on disk from over writing or erased.
I would like to conclude that the storage device is the way to keep useful and important information in case of system failure. We must understand that the journey was not easy. The evolution of storage devices has gone a long way and with the pace of technology it will continue to grow. And in near future the market may come up with some new storage technology.
