Floppy disks are typically fragile and error-prone, so they are not suitable for long-term archiving. While the individual cost of a floppy disk is usually low, the per-megabyte cost of a floppy is extraordinary. Here are the per-megabyte costs of various devices, based on their price on Newegg:
1 TB hard drive (Seagate Barracuda) - .01 cents
DVD-R (based on 50-disc spindle) - .04 cents
CD-R (based on 50-disc spindle) - .22 cents
Compare that to the price of floppies (based on box of 10 from Wal-Mart):
Floppy disk - 33.8 cents.
