Editing SuperDisk (section)

==Criticism and obsolescence==
Older 800KB and 400KB [[Mac (computer)|Macintosh]] floppies, using [[Group coded recording|GCR]], did not work with a SuperDisk drive. These disks could be used in a SuperDisk drive only if formatted to PC 720&nbsp;KB MFM format. Note that almost no USB floppy drives supported Mac GCR floppies.{{fact|date=June 2024}}

The biggest hurdle standing in the way of success was that Iomega's [[Zip drive]] had been out for three years when SuperDisk had been released. Zip had enough popularity to leave the public mostly uninterested in SuperDisk, despite its superior design and its compatibility with the standard floppy disk.{{fact|date=June 2024}}

By 2000, the entire removable magnetic disk category was finally obsoleted by the falling prices of [[CD-R]] and [[CD-RW]] drives, and later on [[solid-state drive|solid-state]] ([[USB flash drive]]s or USB keydrives). Over the next few years, SuperDisk was quietly discontinued, even in areas where it was popular. Today, disks are very hard to find.{{fact|date=June 2024}}
