Do you still use diskettes? Or only CD's / USB key? I still use them like everyday because in my country there are a lot of old computers (and people can't afford a USB). What about you?
No, not anymore. I use a flash drive, a CD, or a DVD and computers with floppy drives are rare in here nowadays.
well I go with whatever I can reach on my desk and size of the data and by the reason why I need it. I have diskettes, CD, DVD, USB drives on my desk and if it is just for quick save and not very important, I use diskette, if large files I use USB drive. If it is important, I use USB drive and/or backup in CD. Larger files or for master backup, DVDs
I use them when I first setup servers, especially those that needs to read from diskettes for eg during hardware raid during installation of Linux servers, it is easier if you have a diskette with you.
I have a few diskettes like memtest for testing faulty memory, and a few boot disks for helping friends out with problem computers.
Only using USB pen drive to moving my data from lappy to desktop or destop to lappy though keeping my valuable backups on CD-RW. Diskettes are useless now a days IMO
Never used a diskette. I hate it. I already disabled it from the BIOS temporarily. Will remove and dump the 3.5 drive soon.
• For daily backup = flash drive • For less frequent backup = CDs. And every couple of months I take the newly backed-up CDs to my safe deposit box. I have data there I absolutely cannot afford to lose to a fire or theft.
Diskettes! Haha.. Honestly, I don't think most people under the age of 18 would even know what a diskette was.
I've been using floppies (aka diskettes) since 1995 if I can remember right. Haven't used them for the past couple of years though. In fact, I sold my floppy drive to some dude down the street last year.
