3 1/2 Floppy drives

[Mnx4]

I was wondering, does it really matter what 3 1/2 floppy drive i get for my computer? I mean, i'm not looking for a colorful or cool looking one, im just wondering if it matters data transfer wise. Also, im talking about the regular 1.38 mb floppy disks. Thanks.

Hm... all I ever see are mostly Panasonics and NECs; I don't think it makes too much of a difference.

There is not much difference between floppy drives.

Wow! I haven't used a floppy drive in 2 years now! Who needs floppy drives when you've got a CD burner? I use a CD-RW as a floppy drive.

Thanks for the info all. I was pretty sure that there couldn't be a major difference in performance, but i wasn't 100% sure. Thanks again.

yep, there is a lot of sort of 3p1/2 floppy.
but i think the mitsumi is a good one.
you can try also panasonic but i prefer mitsumi.


if you know you don't know, the way could be more easy.

Floppy still convenient when you need to update you BIOS.

Not necessarily! You can still boot from a CD (a CD-RW boot disc for example) or boot from a Zip disk. Hehe.
