Hello student, the main difference between a floppy disk drive and a cd -rom drive is the storage capacity and the speed.

00:14
Pros of data floppy are portable and inexpensive.
00:18
Cons are low storage capacity and slow data transfer rates.
00:22
Cd -rom drives storage capacity is 700 mb, cd read and 4 .7 gb for cd read write.
00:33
Data transfer rate is 300 kb per second for cd read only and 600 kb per second is cd read and write.
00:41
Pros are high speed capacity, fast data transfer.
00:45
Cons are less portable, more expensive.
00:48
Cd -rom drives are better to use than the floppy disk drive because they have a higher storage capacity and faster data transfer rate.
