Yes. That makes sense. Turn it on if you want more speed, turn if off if 
reliability is more important.

What doesn't really make sense is that for a floppy disk, there's no 
option to turn it on.

Still, hopefully I will never have to access a floppy disk again for the 
rest of my natural life, so it won't actually *matter* or anything...
