Sony Delivers Floppy Disk’s Last Rites
April 25th, 2010 by Sean
The days of the 3.5-inch floppy disk are now officially numbered.
Sony, which boasts 70 percent of the market, announced Friday that it would end Japanese sales of the ancient storage medium in March 2011, according to a report in the Mainichi Daily newspaper.
The 3.5-inch floppy was a ubiquitous and necessary component for storing and transferring files between personal computers for nearly three decades.
Sony pioneered the 3.5-inch floppy disk in 1981, eventually replacing the 5.25-inch floppy disk that had previously been the popular storage format.
This is sad news for sure. Time to stock up on 3.5″ floppies since I can still use them for my Commodore 1581 disk drive.
