The A1011 as mentioned in the first response is the slim sized (A3000-styled) revision of the A1010 and looks cool ;)  The A1010 is flat out noisy; there are a ton of various slim 1" external FDD's out there on Amibay and eBay, buy two and use one for floppies and take the second out of its case to save as a backup; replace it with a Gotek ($21 USD off eBay and reprogrammed for the Amiga).  The Gotek will give you the option of dozens of ADF files available at a button push.  This give you the best of the Amiga world.

P.S., the Gotek is easily modified and reprogrammed using a $4 USD device in under 30 minutes -- see instruction on the web.  The HxC is expensive and a pain to deal with due to converting the files.
