I was excited about the LS-120 but I never quite convinced myself to stump up the money to pay for it.
My recollection was that it was:
- Slightly larger than the contemporary Zip disks.
- Cheaper than a Zip drive.
- Could just replace your existing floppy drive, since it was backwards-compatible.
I don't know if it was as fast or robust as a Zip disk - it definitely didn't have the same mind share, though.
- aidenn0 3y agoRobustness was "fine"; anything was more robust than a lot of the cheap floppies that were around in the mid-to-late 90s (though Zip drives manufactured around 2000 had a reputation for failing more often).
- devilbunny 3y agoI wish that MiniDisc Data had been more widespread and faster - great size and amazing robustness. Unfortunately, AFAICT they topped out at 600 kB/s speed.
