Floppy Disk Keep at Room Temperature SUMMARY: Extreme weather conditions can damage floppy disks.   To extend the life of your floppy disks, keep them at room temperature. Exposing floppy disks to very high or low temperatures might damage the media, making their contents unreadable or full of errors. If you must transport them in extreme conditions, consider purchasing a weatherproof case or other type of container to help protect them from the elements.   Add: Del.icio.us | Digg | Furl | My Yahoo!   Discuss This Tip Print This Tip Get E-Mail When New Tips are Online Return to the Floppy Disk page.
