3.0 out of 5 starsWorks great with Windows 7 and 8 - IF you know the secret instructions.
By David Bangs on July 8, 2014
Color: Black Verified Purchase
I couldn't figure out how to use it. I called the company, and they didn't know either, offering instead to send me a new one.
Many people have left negative reviews , simply because they did not know the secret instructions:

Here they are:

Problem: When you connect this device, nothing much happens and drive A: fails to show up in File Explorer.

Secret Instructions: You can make it show up by typing A: in the File Explorer address bar.

Problem: When you try to open a file, you may get mysterious error messages or garbage.

Secret Instructions: Copy the files to another folder on your hard disk first, then open them.

That's it.

1.0 out of 5 starsMake sure they send you the right device!!
By Tim Birmingham on September 15, 2013
Color: Black Verified Purchase
They sent out an identical device with a different model number... SABRENT External USB 1.44 MB 2x Floppy Disk Drive SBT-UFDB (Black) instead of the Sabrent External USB 1.44 MB 2x Floppy Disk Drive (FL-UDRV) Black we ordered... The device repeatedly detected floppies as write-protected. Could not read/write to a single disc. 100% fail rate. The LED display did not even have a bulb behind it. They put a sticker on it saying it is a FL-UDRV when it is clearly labeled otherwise. The SBT-UFDB received much inferior reviews compared to the FL-UDRV. I was just curious to see what was actually sold to me so... Oh look what's inside! It's NEC's FD3238H.... you can find these for 4 dollars new. This one looked like it barely made it through the cold war. Be careful and check what they send you! It's old refurb from dumped laptops. Waste of time and money. Returned.

Running Windows 7, using Verbatim 3.5In HD 1.44MB Pre-Fmt IBM 10Pk Even tried using an alternate drivers. Same result.

1.0 out of 5 starsShould be simple....
By Matt Wyman on March 2, 2014
Color: Black Verified Purchase
Floppy Disk Drives are old tech at this point, but if your working with old systems they can be real important. I had to install a old version of windows on a RAID array and a floppy was the only way that'd work properly (slipstreaming the drivers didn't work).

So I figured I'd get this one via Amazon Prime, easy right?

Nope! I got the drive and had a old floppy that'd kept around just for this kind of situation. Plug the drive in, put the disk in and tried to get it to work. Said it was unable to read and needed to format it... ok, sure no problem! Went through the steps to format the drive and got the error "Windows is unable to format the drive". So I tried multiple other format settings, googled, etc. Nothing worked. So I figured the old disk was bad, went and bought a new stack of 10 off amazon again. Get those, try and few of them and no improvement. I stumbled across the manufacture's user manual that explains a bunch of real tedious instructions to get it to work. So followed those to a "T" and STILL no luck. I put in a support ticket, but from reading the reviews on here's that's a waste of time.

Totally ridiculous... -_-

5.0 out of 5 starsI have quite a few 1. 44 MB, ...
By Joe on December 18, 2014
Color: Black Verified Purchase
I have quite a few 1.44 MB, 3 1/2 Inch discs, with information that I wanted to retrieve on them. When my old PC bit the dust, and my newer PC's did not come with a 3 1/2 Floppy drive, I did not know what I was going to do. When I found this drive on Amazon, I immediately decided to give it a try. This external drive works perfectly for both reading and writing, and since it plugs into a USB port, I can use it on my Windows 8.1 Desk top, my Windows 7 Laptop, and also works with my Windows XP machine. I have zero problems, and it exceeds my expectations.

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent 3.5" HD floppy disk drive
By Miguel I. Fonseca Borrase on November 6, 2013
Color: Black Verified Purchase
The Sabrent External USB 1.44 MB 2x Floppy Disk Drive (FL-UDRV) Black is a totally Plug and Play device which operates perfectly under Microsoft Windows 7 (x86 and x64), and also gives the user a straightforward way to boot up modern PCs from diskettes, provided that the unit is connected directly to the motherboard, with no intermediate hubs, i.e. the drive MUST be connected to the USB ports on the back of the PC in order to be bootable.
NOTE: When using the drive under Microsoft Windows 7, sometimes a prompt will come up saying that the diskette is not formatted and asking the user to format it. If you know the disk might have useful data on it, cancel the prompt and open up the Windows Explorer (Windows Key+E) to let Windows reread the disk contents, and voilà, the disk contents will be presented promptly in the Explorer window. I am pretty sure this behavior is due to Windows 7, not the drive, since using it under XP didn't exhibit the symptom and, certainly, booting the PC from the same diskettes (which I've already done) wouldn't be possible if the drive couldn't read the disk.

1.0 out of 5 starsIt definitely wasn't "Plug and Play"
By J - and then some on May 15, 2014
Color: Black Verified Purchase
I ordered the Sabrent External USB Floppy Disc Drive because I have dozens of floppy discs with older family photos from years gone by. I read the two sets of reviews on this product, those that said it was absolutely "Plug and Play" and those that said it was impossible to get it to work. I admit that I am not very tech savy, so the concept of "Plug and Play" appealed to me. I ordered the product and received it in just two days, which was terrific! Today, I opened the box, no instructions were included, by the way, and plugged it in. My computer immediately started humming, a download bar appeared, and I was thinking "This is terrific, I'll be able to download all of my older photos. Not a chance! To put it simply, the product never worked. I've tried everything that I could think of, including rebooting the computer, trying a different USB port (one that I know works), accessing the web site they gave on a mini-sheet of paper included in the box (I found the web site totally useless for someone who isn't tech savy). The only thing I haven't done is to call their "friendly customer support agents" because it's now too late to do that, and I won't be able to call them until after the weekend, four days away. I guess I could say, I am just not happy right now. I will revise this review if I am ever able to get it to work, but as of today, it just doesn't work.
P.S. I called the help line and waited 10 minutes for an answer, and they said I had to send invoice and they'd send me a new unit because they are supposed to be "plug and play" (which so far it is not). More updates when I receive the new unit.
