storage: The mechanism that reads and writes floppy disks.
The most common type of removable drive. Floppy disks can store either 1.44 megabytes or 1.2 megabytes of data, and are 3.5 or 5.25 inches square in size, respectively. Data can be read from, written to, or removed from floppy disks.
Floppy drives record up to 1.44 MB of data on a rugged 3.5" removable magnetic diskette.
A disk drive designed to read and write data to a floppy disk for transfer to and from a computer.
A device that accepts a removable disk, called a floppy disk, and reads or writes data to the disk. Floppy disks are enclosed inside a protective cover which is either 3-1/2" or 5-1/4" square. Capacities of floppy drives and floppy disks can vary, but range from 320 kilobytes to 2.2 megabytes.
Practically all PCs come with a floppy disk drive. 3.5in high density 1.44MB floppy disks are now the standard. They come in hard plastic cases and have replaced the older, literally floppy, 5.25in disks.
a device that reads data stored on a magnetic disk and writes data onto the disk for storage
a device that reads floppy diskettes
a machine that is designed to read floppy disks
Type of drive that writes data to small portable disks (floppy disks or floppies). Floppies have a maximum storage capacity of 1.44MB.
The A: drive is used to backup files on to floppy disks. Saving work on to a disk allows users to take the work so that it can be worked on using another computer. Work saved to a floppy also creates a backup. A backup is useful in case there are problems with your hard drive. The floppy drive will be located on the tower or box that comes with the monitor or on the front of the laptop computer.
The device used to run a floppy disk (usually drive 'A'.)
the slot where you put your floppy disk.
A disk drive that can read and write to floppy disks.
The device in a computer that reads a "floppy disk," a random access, removable data storage medium that can be used with personal computers and web servers.
This enables you to read and write to 3.5" 1.44Mb Floppy Disk.
A smaller, slower, and removable version of a hard disk. The come in 3.5" and 5 1/4" flavours.
A disk drive that reads and writes from floppy disks. You stick a floppy disk into this drive. Usually drive A:.
This is the mechanical and electronic device that reads and writes data to and from floppy disks. This task is performed with electromagnetic read/write heads which are suspended above the floppy disk mylar and attached to an armature. The standard sizes are 5.25@ and 3.5@. Newer computers are coming equipped with only the 3.5@ drives unless you specify otherwise.
A disk drive that accepts floppy disks. Floppy disks are small removable disks that are common to PC's. By using a floppy disk, you can move information from one computer to another with no other connection between them.
Also known as a "floppy disk drive". It's where a portable floppy diskette, usually 3.5 inches aquare, can be inserted and used as a data-storage device.
External storage device that is built into your computer or an external attachment to your computer by a cable connection
Located in the front of your computer-Holds diskettes
a low-cost storage device featuring removable floppy disks. Floppy drives have been largely supplanted by higher capacity CDs and Zip drives. See hard drive, IWM.
A storage device on almost all computers that accepts 3 1/2 or 5 1/4-inch floppy disks.
Floppy drive is a storage device that uses diskettes commonly referred as floppy disks. A typical floppy disk holds about 1.44 megabits of information (data). The floppy drive was the original storage file among the early versions of personal computers. In recent years, the floppy drive is used to enter new software that may come on floppy disks. The hard drive has replaced the floppy drive as the primary storage device because it holds significantly larger amounts of data than a floppy disk.
