System Logic heeft een artikeltje in elkaar gebrouwseld, waarin ze stilstaan bij de laatste dagen van de inmiddels in terminaal stadium verkerende floppy drive:
In this one consumer's opinion, as far as small files, no I don't think it's dead, but it's in critical condition. But when it comes to large multimedia, yes it's dead in my opinion. 3.5" Floppy Drives are less expensive than Removable Media, but you won't be able to store as many files on a regular floppy disk as you would a Zip disk, or a SuperDisk. And if I had to go with either a Zip Disk or a SuperDisk, I would choose the SuperDisk due to the fact that you can use both the 120 MB SuperDisk's and the regular 3.5" 1.44MB Floppy Disk. In today's fast paced, graphically enhanced world, the 3.5" Floppy Drive is not completely dead, but overall, it's not far from becoming obsolete technology.
IMO zal de floppy drive voortleven totdat er een wijdverspreidt alternatief beschikbaar is, op dit moment is dat nog niet het geval.
