Sony to End Floppy Disk Production
By
The extinction of the floppy disk is inching ever closer as Sony announces plans to halt production of the media. There are very few applications now that require the use of a floppy disk, if you have an older motherboard, you may still need it to update the BIOS or install RAID drivers.
The floppy disk, already abandoned by most computer users, has been pushed closer to extinction by a Sony decision to end manufacturing of the storage media this early next year. Sony, one of a handful of companies that still sells floppy disk media in Japan, will end sales of floppy disks by March 2011 due to dwindling demand.
