3.5" disks are less durable. The sliding door snags inside the drive. This destroys both the disk and the drive.

- Doxin 6y agoI can see the slider getting snagged, but I don't see how that can destroy the drive. At least for the model drive I have the slider clears way before the floppy gets near the head. Worst I can see happening is the floppy getting jammed inside, but that should be easy enough to fix given a screwdriver.
