[comp.periphs] Advise of on floppy disk brands

jin@spdcc.COM (Jerry Natowitz) (01/21/91)

Does anyone have any information on the reliability/durability of the
various brands of floppies?  I am most interested in 3.5 HD.

Additionally, I have noticed a number of ads for "unlabeled" Sony diskettes
in Computer Shopper.  One ad in particular, Comp USA in Addison TX, offered
them at $49 for 50, about 1/2 what they cost in the stores.  Are these first
quality?  Also, how about the hole punchers advertised to change 5.25 DD to
HD?  Are the DD disks up to the challange?

Thanks in advance for your replies.
