Mostly used by people who own the digital cameras that uses a floppy disk for its media, such as my Panasonic PV-SD 4090

What do you use floppy disk drives for?
For putting a floppy disc in. Floppy discs were used a lot in the 1970's as CD's were not invented until the 1980's
What will corrupt data save on a floppy disk?
If you put it on a floppy disk. It's a storage device nothing more. By the way flashdrives are smaller and store a lot more data.
How much information does a floppy drive hold?
A LOT!
Why is hard disk is popular than floppy disk?
Hard disk is more popular than floppy disk because hard disk can store huge amount of data in term of mega byte to giga byte. It stores the data safely compared to floppy disk. External hard disk are portable so they can transfer the data from one computer to another . But floppy disk has low capacity and are vey slow compared to hard disk . It can be easily damaged when exposed to heat and dust. Files can be easily corrupted and data transfer rate is slow compared to hard disk. Nowadays, computer are built without floppy drives which is needed to read floppy disks.
What is the difference between CD and Floppy?
The same as the difference between a phonograph record and a phonograph. The CD-ROM is where the data is stored. the purpose of the CD-ROM drive is to read it.
Why did floppy disks lose credibility?
They haven't lost credibility, but they have lost all purpose. They are no longer used because CD's and DVD's can hold a lot more information and are a lot more durable.
How did floppy disks improve computing?
Floppy drive was the first storage with portable data storage capacity.. However the data storing capacity of floppy drive is not enough but in early days it helped a lot..
What can you do with 1MB?
Well, 1 MB might hold quite a lot of text or a (relatively) small program. A basic worm virus, perhaps ;-) However, it would probably be more interesting to know that an MS-DOS game Aladdin used just twice as much RAM to run... And quite a lot of MS-DOS games could fit on a floppy disk (1.4 Mb) - usually they installed from one and the whole documentation fit in that disk as well. They were genius is using small amounts of storage space in those olden days...
Can the blurred video recording of a 3.5 floppy disk be repaired?
Probably not. Thanks to shows like CSI and NCIS, people are used to magic Hollywood image enhancement, but it doesn't really work that way. If a digital image is blurry, there's not usually a whole lot you can do about it. If the goal is just edge detection, MAYBE, but you're not going to turn it into a perfect crystal-clear image again.
How do the hard disk work After replacing it?
It spins for one ( at usually 7200 rpm) and writes in a language that involves 1 and 0's(Binary Code) It is a like a rewritable CD but a lot cooler A hard disk stores data in much the same way as a floppy drive, magnetic pulses are imprinted onto the surface of the disk by a read/write head which can also then read the data back. Hard disks differ from floppies in that the data can be stored in much higher densities and accessed at much higher speeds by using a non-removable disk which is sealed from contaminants. Modern hard disks usually have several disks within them (platters) and dedicated read/write heads for both sides of each. The platters themselves are usually made of some aluminum alloy coated with a thin layer of iron oxide and are very rigid. A hard disk drive (HDD), commonly referred to as a hard drive, hard disk, or fixed disk drive, is a non-volatile storage device which stores digitally encoded data on rapidly rotating platters with magnetic surfaces. Strictly speaking, "drive" refers to a device distinct from its medium, such as a tape drive and its tape, or a floppy disk drive and its floppy disk. Early HDDs had removable media; however, an HDD today is typically a sealed unit (except for a filtered vent hole to equalize air pressure) with fixed media.
What are ball screws bearing typically used for?
Ball screws are used a lot in aircrafts and missiles. They are also used in machining and assembly equipment and robots. They are also used in electronics like in the disk reading process.
What is the type of disk in Neo's book in the matrix movie?
I just found this out: It's a WORM disk. WORM stands for Write once, read many. It's old as hell and outdated, but it was the disk that was used in The Matrix. Although they do hold a lot of data, it behaves like a CD-ROM after being written to.
