PostHeaderIcon Sony to Stop Producing 3.5-inch Floppy Discs


When was the last time you used a 3.5-inch floppy disc? Five years ago? Ten years ago? Ok, maybe a little bit too much but even though they are still available in the market, one has to admit that the 3.5-inch floppy disc format can now be considered as a relic. It has been long forgotten in favour of the better, faster and bigger capacities that are offered by optical discs and flash drives.
The format creator – Sony – has finally decided to move on and has announced that they are going to terminate the format’s production on March 2011; thirty years after the format was first introduced to the world. Obviously, the decline in demands is the reason behind the decision.
Well then, we would like to suggest each one of you to purchase a box of 3.5-inch floppy discs before they are gone for good. You know, just as something to remind you of the good old times where the format used to rule the world.
