I see.

However, it seems Sony stopped making floppys in march 2011. They sold only in the local japanese market. They still had a volume of 12 millionen floppys. but if you had 3 billion floppys before you tend to see the business as insignificant i guess.

Anyways, you can not get new Sony floppys.

I understand that, because of larger structures, DD floppys have an expected lifetime of 15 to 20 years, HD floppys an expected lifetime of 5 years. I wonder what the expected lifetime of ED floppys is, 6 month? :lol:

That leaves me with the cheap chinese stuff or Verbatim.

BTW, i learned why the russians and east europe still uses that much floppys, they transfer their tax data with them. ;D
