4.0 out of 5 starsWill only read 2HD (1.44mb) floppies
By Koala1356 on September 2, 2013
Verified Purchase
Like other reviewers, I purchased this drive to try to nab old stuff from my collection of 3.5" floppy diskettes. I am using Windows 7 Pro (64-bit) and the drive works out of the box for me. The box also included a mini-cd which I did not need to use. I just plugged the drive into a USB slot and Win7 instantly recognized it and found a driver.

However, as my heading says, this drive will only read High Density 1.44mb diskettes (2HD). I also have some older 2DD diskettes (double sided 720k) which this drive will not read, but rather prompt me to 'format a blank diskette.' (TIP: don't do this! You'll lose your data) Unsure if this was Windows 7 or the drive itself, I plugged this into an older Windows XP pc (which instantly recognized it too) and it still would not read any of my lower density diskettes (2DD). It actually says this in the product description, although in a convoluted way for those unaware of the two different types of 3.5" floppies. It will ONLY read your 1.44mb (2HD) diskettes.

How do you tell what sort of floppy diskette you have? If you have name brand floppies, the stamp on the metal slide cover should tell you if your disk is 2HD or 2DD. That said, I have some diskettes that have no branding or marking on them whatsoever, so it's just trial and error. Some of these work (the 2HD ones) and some don't (which I assume are 2DD).

Bear in mind, this technology was pre "plug and play" so even though Windows recognizes the drive and it's ready to use, it won't be active until you pop in a diskette and click the "3.5 A Drive" from the drive list in My Computer. Then you wait and wait and wait for it to access the data (which is so slow compared to today's tech!).Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsOld floppies out of nowhere
By Beader on August 7, 2013
Verified Purchase
I found several old floppies in with my scrapbooks and had no way to view them. This was a cheap solution and worked perfectly. I have a WIN 8 machine and had no problem installing the equipment or viewing my floppy files.

5.0 out of 5 starsOrdered to convert some old family pictures
By Russ B on August 26, 2013
Verified Purchase
I have windows 7. Windows recognized the floppy disk drive and loaded the drivers automatically. I didn't need the CD that came with the device. As soon as a floppy disk was loaded, it came to life just like any other drive.

3.0 out of 5 starsINITIAL REVIEW + UPDATES
By I Heart Amazon on May 8, 2014
Verified Purchase
I have Windows 7 and my disks are 2HD. This External works for me. It's not as fast as the A drive that comes with your computer but at least it does work. I'm happy because the first External I bought (Sabrent External USB 1.44 MB 2x Floppy Disk Drive (FL-UDRV) Black) showed what was on the floppy but could not open any files so I returned it and bought this one.

I'm sorry some rated it low stars because it rates 5 with me.

UPDATE 7/25/14: I rated this a 5 in my first review because it worked fine. As time has passed it has come to my having to do some manipulating to get the drive to work because I keep getting a disk not formatted/request to format message.

I handle that by unplugging the usb from my computer, plugging it back in and if that doesn't work I then take the disk out and reinsert it in the a drive. I have to do this a few times until eventually it works.

UPDATE 7/27/14: Normally this unit sits unplugged on the tower, plugging it in only when I need it, pulling it out of the usb when I'm done. Tried something different and it made a difference. After using it yesterday I left it plugged in, even when I logged off. When I got on the computer later, and today as well and had to transfer files, it worked smoothly.

UPDATE: 11/19/14: Time to buy a new one. Started getting the not formatted message on a disk I'd been using. Got frustrated, slammed it on the ground, it busted it up. Back to the drawing board. When it worked, it was great, toward the end it seems it ran out of gas and stopped working. Brought the rating down to 3 because it was a short term item for me.

2.0 out of 5 starsDoes not work with Win 7 64bit
By Skye on June 8, 2013
Verified Purchase
My 64 bit Windows 7 does not recognize this drive. They should clarify this. My computer found the driver for it but the drive doesn't show up. Update: I finally got it to work but it is extremely slooooow. Not sure that it isn't the format, but it can get the task done if you have a lot of time to just let it do its thing.

Not only does the Floppy Disk Drive work perfectly on my newer computer, it was very inexpensive--surprisingly so. A perfect solution to saving my family pictures.

5.0 out of 5 starsThese aren't so easy to find anymore
By Dyan Guarrera on June 26, 2014
Verified Purchase
Dinosaurs, not completely. Pretty much the only place you can find these anymore is online. This one was priced very well and works great. If you still have data stored on 1.44 floppies then you need one of these to save the data onto your newer hard drives or write to cd.

1.0 out of 5 starsNew Slim External 3.5" is terrible
By Mike on July 24, 2013
I purchased this item based on average reviews and price. Boy, did I make a mistake. The mini-DVD disk drivers didn't even contain Windows 7 drivers. Fortunately, Windows had a default as part of the operating system.

I was able to read JUST ONE FLOPPY! After that it couldn't read any more and then locked my last disk into itself. I had to destroy it to get it out!

Probably can't even return it now! You get what you pay for!
