Bigger storage space, smaller chance of files getting corrupt or hardware getting damaged
Cd,DVD Floppy disk etc
Temporary as in memory, no, but you should probably stick to a flash drive or even e-mail is better.
To read a floppy disk, you insert a floppy disk into a floppy disk drive. Not all computers have floppy disk drives. Typically desktop computers or ones that stand on the floor have floppy disk drives. New machines today allow a USB thumb drive (USB flash memory storage device) to be used in place of a floppy drive. All modern computersy have USB connections. If you need to read a floppy disk and you computer does not have a floppy disk drive, you can purchase a USB connected floppy disk drive for your computer.
No, it is a data storage device like a hard disk ot floppy disk.
The Flash Drive.
No. A 'rescue disk' is any media that is used to recover a corrupted or damaged system. it can be in the form of a floppy, CD, DVD, or perhaps even a USB flash drive. A floppy disk can be used for other purposes besides a rescue disk.
Correction: the "A" Drive is a floppy disk dirve that holds, reads and writes on the floppy disk.
A computer floppy drive is the device that reads and writes to a floppy disk. It is located on the front of the Computer.
LIke a really thick floppy disk.
A USB flash drive is a data storage device that includes flash memory with an integrated Universal Serial Bus interface. As of September 2011, drives of up to 256 gigabytes (GB) are available, while the floppy disk is around 8MB.
Mainly lack of capacity. A floppy disk is usually 1.44 MB. Modern flash drives, hard drives, etc. are in the gigabytes and terabytes ! You can still use a floppy drive (I have a USB external floppy drive), but it will become more difficult to get new floppy disks as manufacturers abandon a rather antiquated media.
It's a storage device, much like a flash drive or dvd drive now.
