Transistors are the main working computer components. They either allow electricity to pass through or not pass through. They are either on or off. To work, they must allow electricity to go only one way. Sometimes transistors are attached to an AC circuit. Still they only let DC electricity come out. They are either on or off and only allow electricity to go one way.

The only persons that these are important to are the people responsible for repairing and maintaining the devices.
Why do external floppy drives cost more than internal?
External floppy drives use additional hardware to connect to a computer, whereas an internal floppy drive uses a simple cable to connect to components already integrated into most motherboards until very recently. Another factor is that external USB floppy drives are a seldom-used item, whereas an internal floppy drive could be leftover stock from when they were a common commodity in every computer.
