The standard floppy drive and Zip drives appear to be rigid, but if you peel back the metal to see the actual media, it is quite flexible. These drives offer removable storage but store 100 MB on their own special storage media. As you can imagine, these drives are much more versatile than the standard floppy drive. Of course, you should consider putting standard floppy drives in all your machines. As for funny big floppy drives like the Zip and LS-120, I'd recommend keeping a couple around for situations where clients deliver data in those formats, or users that need to deliver data to clients in those formats.
Floppy drives are less of a risk as they store so little, but they are still a risk.
