Summary

You really can't say much about a the good old floppy drive... it's slow, but still useful in it's own way. They are great for disposable one-time-use storage (such as give aways), and small files (like a couple of Word documents or Excel files). And...

Strength

Works as advertised, low CPU utilization (surprised).

Weakness

Is not recognized as a boot device on older motherboards.

Bottom Line

It's an external floppy drive... get over it! (I am starting to believe they are all the same!)
