The small ones are about twice the price of a floppy drive and have tons more storage space. I don't know about that specific model of DVDRW drive, but be aware that DUAL layer drives are on the market now, and no more expensive than the single layer variety. -Dave |

The power supply leaves little room for expansion. I don't have a floppy in my newest computer. Can boot from CD-R/RW and they're a lot better for sharing data. Leaving it out saves power and the ribbon cable has to block at least a little air. My case side panel slides off and a floppy could easily be put on for a quick job. Haven't needed to in a year. |
