Hard drive and floppy disk drive

One thing for sure you will need is a floppy drive. So before I go into the hard drives, make it clear to yourself that you need a *good* floppy drive. These will cost around 25 to 30 dollars. Whatever you do, don't get the cheaper ones. It's really not worth it. Especially when your floppy drives dies on you, and then you need to install drivers, software, etc, or even fix your Windows operating system. Not having a floppy drive is real nightmare.

Now to the hard drives. What's really great about these, is that nowadays you can get large drives for really low prices. If you shop around, you can easily get a 6.4 gig hard drive for $100 or under (these prices keep on going down all the time).

As your shopping for a hard drive, you'll probably see a whole bunch of different brands. To keep it simple, stick only to: Maxtor, Western Digital and IBM. Other hard drives might seem cheaper, but these 3 manufacturers produce quality drives. After all, the data on your hard drive is very important, and loosing it is not an option. So spending an extra $10 for the good brand name is essential when it comes to hard drives.
