REMOVABLE -MEDIA DRIVES
Removable-media drives combine the best features of floppy and hard drives. Like floppy drives, they use disks that are removable. Like hard drives, they store dozens of megabytes on a single disk. This makes them perfect for backing up data and transferring large amounts of data from one computer to another. In addition, removable-media drives allow you to keep expanding your computer's storage capacity indefinitely at a relatively low cost. Every time you run out of space, you just buy another cartridge. There are two basic types of removable-media drives:
Bernoulli (pronounced as Ber-new-lee) drives, which use cartridges containing a flexible floppy-like disk .
Syquest drives, which use rigid disks more like platters used in hard drives.
