Wei Bao: 3.5-inch floppy disk blade is not old
If the wording is not a once in a while to see, I’m afraid most people except Museum staff or collectors had floppy disk into the winds. But leading storage manufacturers Wei Bao (Verbatim) don’t think so. The company has recently issued a statement saying: “in 1981, the 3.5-inch floppy disk available for the first time it has been nearly 30 years. Today, while new storage media such as CD discs/USB Flash disk has become increasingly popular, but the 3.5-inch floppy disks still a widely used data storage media. According to the statistics we Wei Po company, 3.5-inch floppy disk sales in 2009 in the European region reaches 50 million or so, in Eastern Europe and the CIS countries, people’s demand is particularly urgent for 3.5-inch floppy disk. ”
To this end, Wei Bao company decided to continue production of 3.5-inch floppy disk product so that the consumer service for those who still need to use this floppy disk. In contrast, Sony recently said because of the demand is very low, so they in March 2011, cut off a floppy disk.
But here need to attract our attention is that in addition to cheap, sometimes we are afraid that only by using a floppy disk can be with those who are still on older machines running Windows98 or earlier operating systems to transfer data, these machines used by the operating system support for Plug and play features more jerky, cannot support the current epidemic of USB high capacity portable storage devices.
