Cheap Floppy Drives

Even though some computers you can purchase today do not include a floppy drive, they still have their usefulness. And, they are so cheap to buy now it's hard not to include one in your system.

For example, it you need to move information from one computer to another and don't want to burn a CD for an 800K file, floppies are great. Or, you may need to boot from a floppy if your system crashes. Floppy booting is useful if you want to reformat your hard drive or even low-level format it to really start anew. Remember, high level formatting does not really get rid of all the information on your hard drive. Much is still recoverable.

If you are building your own computer then you should get a floppy drive. They are really inexpensive now and you can pick one up for only a few dollars.

Floppy drives are very easy to install. New motherboards still have a floppy connector built on. You just connect the cable to the motherboard and the other end to the floppy drive and the BIOS recognizes it and installs it.
