Floppy Disk Drive... redundant?

[WingZero30]

Apology if similar issue has been posted before but I was wondering if FDD has been outdated now and superseded by USB flash drive etc. I don't have it now in my first build either and don't hear any mention of it anymore. Back in the old days it used to be such a rage and I bought so many floppy disks.

The only downside about the demise of the floppy drive is that nothing has replaced it for sheer simplicity when it comes to boot disks.

Yeah I am going to miss the drive. RIP FDD
