I am late, and I know it.
I needed to use the Internet to research floppy drives.
I went to Tiger Direct:
What is the price of an internal floppy drive? The price ranged from $14.99 to $29.98
What kind of connection do external floppy disk drives use? They use an IDE cable.
What is the price of an external drive? Both models were offered at $19.99
Why do you think external drives cost more than internal drives? I don't think they do anymore. While the one internal was less expensive, the other three cost either the same or more.
What are the advantages of external drives? The advantage would be portability. You can connect to your desktop and move it to your laptop. Or take it to work and back. If you are an IT tech, you can use it on newer computers that don't have a floppy drive installed to run the set up or restore disk.
Internal drives? OK, on a modern home computer, almost none. On a business computer you may want one to run some back up disks and also store small files like Word files or Excel workbooks.
