SuperDisk drive technology was discontinued by the drive manufacturer in 2001. Imation also discontinued producing all products affiliated with this technology in 2003. Imation SuperDisk 120MB Diskettes and/or Drives may still be available in the marketplace, however are no longer warranted. We do not have information about where these products can be purchased, although a Web search for "Imation SuperDisk" may turn up results.
If you currently own a SuperDisk drive, once your drive fails, it may be impossible or expensive to get your data off the diskettes. If you locate a drive in the marketplace, you may want to consider purchasing a backup drive. But for high-value data, we are recommending that our customers consider upgrading to a current technology, and transfer the information.
Here are some current data storage and backup technologies that Imation supplies for a variety of customer needs. A combination of backup media may be the best course; for instance, backing up currently used files to Flash Drives or Micro Drives, and keeping seldom used files on DVD or CD.
