    Pros: Media is (comparatively) cheap, reads regular floppies.
    Cons: Slow, and ties up yet another socket on your power strip.

    Summary: Magnetic media technology has come a long way since the days of 8 inch single sided floppies. With companies perfecting their optical/magnetic recording technologies all over the place, competition for your mass-storage dollar is getting fierce. ... read more
