Why Gotek HxC?

There are more reasons to ask “why not“, than why. I experienced that my floppy drives suddenly did not work anymore and then you had to spend a big buck on EBay for a replacement. My floppy disks often went faulty and I was ending up having back-ups of back-ups, which actually is ridiculous. Because it is unstable and you can easy risk to lose your work/tools unexpected.

Therefore, I decided to replace all my floppy drives with this Gotek HxC solution and I was able to have all my floppies on one usb stick, which mean that I could throw out 100s of floppies.

I understand the nostalgic-idea of having the original floppy drive and when that is said, then I would personally rather prefer a modern, stable and compatible solution.

In your consideration, you have to consider if you are searching for a floppy drive or a SCSI replacement. If you are searching for a SCSI solution, then I can recommend SCSI2SD. Gotek HxC is perfect as the floppy drive replacement solution.

Gotek HxC benefits:

 * Stable (compared to old floppy drives and floppies, less errors)
 * You can have 1000 floppy images per. USB stick.
 * Same size as standard floppy drive. (You can rip out the old floppy drive and this will fit in the same space)
 * Loads faster than floppy drive
 * No floppy noise
