Posted December 29, 2018 I think this is the right place to put this. So, I'm looking to build my first PC; and I figure that if I'm going to do it, I'll go all in and attempt to make my dream system. One of the things I want the computer to have is a floppy drive. I know that USB floppy drives are a thing, and probably easier, but where's the fun in that? I want the motherboard to have a header to connect a 3.5" drive. Such a requirement might have me start my search with older motherboards where the connector was more common, if not for my other requirement. I also want the computer to be VR capable. This means the motherboard needs to be as new as possible. I'm on the hunt for something that fulfills both requirements, but I could really use a hand. tl:dr I need help finding the most modern motherboard possible that has a floppy header. Any Suggestions?

Posted December 29, 2018 No modern board has floppy, get a usb drive. You can get usb drives that will fit in your case and work like a normal internal one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 29, 2018 Pata to SATA cable converter ought to give you what you want right? I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B Primary PC: i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me. Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference. How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 29, 2018 You are probably going to need to find a PCI -> floppy header device. There might be PCI-Express but less likely.. Also if it will work on a UEFI system who knows.

Would a SATA to floppy exist?
