USB or Diskette email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 90/100. bagumbayan (1440)   ranked 96 out of 5,899 in have discussion on day to day issues8 months ago

I used both. If I am in a seminar, lecture or school I am making use of my USB to store topics discussed. However, in the office I usually transfer files to my diskette insteas of USB. For me both has its purpose, and for me, I uses it both in different reasons. But I still transfer important topics to my computer, either those in USB or Diskette. How about you, do you use both or what is your choice and why.

I used both. I used diskette to back up important files. There are still some computers that's having a hard time recognizing USB's. Sometimes if i rent in an internet cafe and have to save some files i used my diskette, i rarely use my USB in cafes to avoid virus.


myLot reputation of 90/100. bagumbayan (1440)   ranked 96 out of 5,899 in have discussion on day to day issues  8 months ago

Thats best. I am also very careful in using usb on computers I am not familiar with. Its true diskette with lesser mb for copying and then transferring it to your file with higher mb. Thanks for the response.

i just use a USB rather than a diskette for convenience. seldom anybody uses a diskette nowadays. the only ones i know who uses a diskette are students.


myLot reputation of 90/100. bagumbayan (1440)   ranked 96 out of 5,899 in have discussion on day to day issues  7 months ago

I used diskette but it was long time ago when i was in college and after that the cd comes along so all changes,, now much more usuable is the usb and portable hard disk.we can buy a portable hard disk in a reasonable price and it is a space saver. just as big as your palm, big ha?


Hard Disk Portable saver

Yes, with the new technology, everything changes, but as Ive said I am sill using the diskette to restore some files and the usb on seminars and school activities. Both has its uses, but I still use both. Thanks for the response.

Most computers now don't have the drive A for the diskette anymore and Drive A could be very problematic too. My computer crashed two times because of infected diskettes so I had it removed. Thumbdrives also get infected with virus but if your computer has a good antivirus it should be fine. Aside from that flashdrives or thumbdrives have bigger storage so I definitely prefer them.


myLot reputation of 90/100. bagumbayan (1440)   ranked 96 out of 5,899 in have discussion on day to day issues  5 months ago

Yes for a small thing 1 or 2 GB can be stored in. For small demo or copying some print I still use the diskette and usb to store more. For seminar, conferences usb is very helpful, you can easily copy topics. Thanks for the reponse.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Jemina (2237)   ranked 57 out of 5,899 in have discussion on day to day issues  5 months ago

It's good your Drive A is still working and your computer system hasn't got any virus.

i usually use usb drives. it is much bigger in storage and of course it lasts longer than diskettes. i dont think there are people who uses diskettes nowadays. ehehe


myLot reputation of 90/100. bagumbayan (1440)   ranked 96 out of 5,899 in have discussion on day to day issues  5 months ago

I still use diskettes. And usually on seminar and some topics given are in diskette. I even heard that there is new usb that can handle so many records, the latest I know is the 8 gb size. We need to transfer also our files to usb just in vase our computer break down. Thanks for the response.

Well I practically use USB these days as diskettes has become unrealible already. I really do not know but so far all those files that I store in a diskette deteriorates over time and becomes so unusable in time. Whereas a USB can really last that long.


myLot reputation of 90/100. bagumbayan (1440)   ranked 96 out of 5,899 in have discussion on day to day issues  5 months ago

You might be storing it in some hot places. And be sure the place is airy and you have to clean it once in a while. I still use diskette but most often usb. Thanks for the response.


myLot reputation of 86/100. rsa101 (4690)   ranked 465 out of 5,899 in have discussion on day to day issues  5 months ago

Yeah maybe you're right about that but I noticed that quality wise the product has already deteriorated. if you would compare a floppy disk before and now they are different in terms of thickness and durability. I do have old diskettes before and they are still intact in terms of structure as compared to today's diskettes.


myLot reputation of 90/100. bagumbayan (1440)   ranked 96 out of 5,899 in have discussion on day to day issues  5 months ago

There are some enterprising people who usually do that, shortselling many people. But there are some companies still are making the best quality items because good things will not let them down. There are many fakers nowadays and thats what usually can be found on sidewalks and some not so legal sellers. Consumers beware. Thanks again.

hi bagumbayan! happy

I don't use diskettes anymore. no one uses diskettes here at the office anymore. even people I meet during seminars and trainings, they don't use diskettes anymore. they prefer USBs or flash disks. I prefer flash disks too because I can save a lot of different files there and its not easily damaged or infected by a virus unlike with a diskette. I can save tons of files in a flash disk without replacing it every now and then. I can save a lot of photos, videos, songs, powerpoint presentations, etc.

another advantage is when one USB port in the CPU is damaged, there are other ports at the back and at the front of the CPU where the USB can be inserted. unlike with the disk drive, its only one and if it gets damaged, you'll not be able to use the diskette. happy


myLot reputation of 90/100. bagumbayan (1440)   ranked 96 out of 5,899 in have discussion on day to day issues  4 months ago

Ans there are usb with big memories, 8 gigs and so on. yes, it is a good thing usb was created and there are lots of information that can be stored in it. But if it will be affected by virus too then theres the problem also. We still use disketee here in the office, other offices requesting us to submit diskettes and we do that. I also have some personal files in diskettes files. But I am using usb too. thanks for the response.


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (5043)   ranked 6 out of 5,899 in have discussion on day to day issues  4 months ago

are you talking about floppy diskettes or cd as in vcds?? coz i thought you were talking about floppy diskette versus the USB. coz if you were talking about vcds, then we certainly still use them at the office. but with floppy diskettes, we don't know them anymore.^__^;;


myLot reputation of 90/100. bagumbayan (1440)   ranked 96 out of 5,899 in have discussion on day to day issues  4 months ago

Diskettes, the one use in storing files, I didnt mean cd or vcd.

I am using my 4Gb Kingston Flash disk/ Data traveler (USB Device) to save my files and to have a backup of my most important files in the office. Before, I am also using a Diskette for saving files but now I didn't use it anymore for the reason that it can't handle huge amount of data unlike my Flash drive.


My diskette before

myLot reputation of 90/100. bagumbayan (1440)   ranked 96 out of 5,899 in have discussion on day to day issues  4 months ago

Handy and can carry more files. It is the advantages given. But I still carry with me diskette for some office and personal files. Thanks for the response.
