[comp.periphs] floppy drive speed

gopstein@soleil.UUCP (Rich Gopstein) (12/01/89)

  I have noticed that some IBM/PC floppies are faster than others of the same type.
I recently installed a 720k 3.5" floppy on my ATT 6300.  The drive seems very slow to me.
What would cause a floppy drive to be slow?  I assume that all floppies of the same
density/size spin at the same rate, so it must be seek time...

  If it is seek time, does anyone have a list of seek times on currently available
drives?  I'd like to get faster drives in the future.


  Thanks in advance for any info.
