The floppy disk drive is a device
that records data onto a removable storage disk called a floppy
disk. Floppy disks, also called "floppies", are the
most basic storage medium for data. However their limited capacity,
typically 1.44 megabytes, makes them of limited use. Manufacturers
now rarely include them in new PCs.
A floppy disk can be used to copy files from one PC to another PC or for making backup copies of files.
Replacing a floppy drive is very easy and inexpensive to do, should the need arise.
