Times may change, but some technology remains tried and true. Floppy disks are often counted out entirely in the age of Blu-ray, USB, and the cloud, except they shouldn’t be. You might know as well as anyone that they can bridge two eras—as long as your machines have the right link to lean on.
Our floppy drives click into your cutting-edge hardware. Light, slim, and unobtrusive, they’re USB compatible, which also powers the drive. At last, you can read floppy disks like any other data storage medium. Whether you have v.1 or 2.0 ports, there’s a solution waiting in our cross-platform catalog.
Why get a floppy drive in the first place? Usually, it’s because older industrial machines were built for them—and not with a short shelf-life either. These abilities were configured with many decades in mind... . Therefore, you may have a large amount of archived data on your hands: information you can’t access without something that can read it. Leveraging old data into modern analytics, records, and forecasts sheds more insight into what you do, and what’s worked well in the past, predicting a more sustainable future.
Our drives bring two or three generations of computing together. Pretty much any Windows PC still supports them, and we’ve made sure to find the most reliable tech on the market too, so your data doesn’t get corrupted in transit. Generous Mbps also makes reading quick and painless. When you need to read floppy disks on the move—say, with a notebook computer—every second matters to keep your work flowing and on track.
We offer drives for regular and microdisks, expanding synchronicity across data archives. Unsure what you’ll need for computers, laptops, and other devices? Ask us for recommendations. We’ve been around for a while, and have met countless people using floppy disks.
It’s about time this much-loved tech got the treatment it deserves again—particularly when you’re reaching back to find files, communications, and results that have only grown more relevant with time.
