It takes 711 3.5″ floppy disks to equal a gigabyte. So that means this unit can replace 5,688,000 floppies.
I better get started converting my collection now.
According to Wikipeda in 1996, there were 5,000,000,000 floppy disks in use. That means in 1996 the content of all floppy disks in the world could fit on about only 1,000 of these external hardrives.
Hard to imagine what it would be like if we were still using floppy disks today.
