The Commodore 8250 is a dual-unit 5.25-inch floppy disk drives for Commodore International computers. It uses the IEEE-488 interface common to Commodore PET/CBM computers.

The 8250 is a dual-sided drive, whereas the 8050 can only use one side of a disk. Both use a quad density format storing approximately 0.5 megabyte per side. This drive is not dual-mode, so it cannot read or write disks formatted by the more common lower-capacity Commodore 1541 or Commodore 4040 models.
