Floppy Disk Drive
Floppy drives record data onto removable magnetic disks, also known simply as "floppies."
At around $20 each, floppy drives are the cheapest drives available. But with a maximum of 1.4
MB, floppies are no longer a useful backup tool in this day of graphics-heavy files.
Plus, some newer desktop computers (Apple's iMac and the latest super-slim PCs) have contributed
to the declining usage of floppies by bypassing internal floppy drives completely. The same trend
is appearing with laptops, which are striving to stay under 6 lbs. See Price
