I purchased a drive which had some intermittent reading problems. I left negative feedback because of it. I also sent an FYI to the seller, but explained that an RMA was not necessary, because the cost of shipping wouldn't make it worth it.
However, to my surprise I received a new and fully working drive in the mail today! The seller sent one out without my knowledge. I greatly appreciate the treatment and now have a drive that works without problems.

I had important docs on floppies from the mid-'90s (my very bad), never having saved them elsewhere mostly because I hadn't had a computer with an A-drive for a decade and just forgot about it. Running across the discs recently, I panicked, assuming even the externals weren't being manufactured any more. I was thrilled to find out I was wrong. Mine is brand spanking new and works perfectly, and this is a steal of a price. I got it just to transfer files from floppy to current storage, so longevity is not an issue for me. Recommended.

The 1.44MB USB External Floppy Disk Drive (Black) is a reliable item if you need to use a floppy disk drive. I have some software that needs to save to a floppy disk, I wasn't to sure about this product when I bought I thought the price was great and maybe that was a sign that the product wouldn't work but I was wrong it's very good, fast and quick to intall.

Didn't work
Plugged the device into a Windows and a Mac USB and neither worked. The device would not power up. Waste of time.

1.44 USB Bloppy Drive
Although this type of unit is not used very much these days it still comes in handy once in a while. The computer recognized the unit with no special effort. Works great.

Excellent, slim, works like a champ. Just plug it in and you've got a floppy drive on your machine.
