SmartDisk FDUSB-B2 USB External Floppy Disk Drive

Needed this for a custom build computer. Customer using older software on 3.5" floppies needed this for a newly built Windows 10 Home Edition system. Luckily Windows 10 recognized it and installed driver from MS right away. Tested and it works fine.

Worked and received in good shape

This product is just what I needed! It arrived very quickly, packaged well and ready to go. I was unsure of all data on my old floppy drives and didn't have a computer any longer with that drive. This device is great! I've actually decided to save it with some floppy's to store info I don't want to make available through any cloud computing. It's a great backup storage opportunity.

It's a beautiful little box, but it didn't work for me. I bought it because I wanted to access the files in my old floppies. But when I inserted a disk, and clicked on the disk drive, a message opened asking if I wanted to format the disk. (This would wipe out all my files) I still don't know exactly why this happened (and I tried a handful of disks).As I looked at the customer info, I noted that it did NOT include Vista as one of the formats it runs on. And the SmartDisk customer service guy I talked to suggested that might be the problem. So I tried the floppy drive on another computer that runs XP, but with the same disappointing results.I'm sorry to say, I'm returning it.

Pros: Worked like a charm with my Mac, without even having to install the driver. When the familiar blue-labeled floppy drive icon appeared, I was so excited at being able to read my old files.Cons: Cheap construction is a far cry from the built-to-last metal drives of the 1980s. This thing broke after reading about 15 disks and I'm going to send it back. I wanted to love this drive as much as anyone.Edit: They just sent me a new one, fast, and it works.

So nice to have an item that shows up on time, does what it says, and doesn't break the first time I use it! Love that!!! Came in very handy to transfer old floppies to computer then back up on USB stick...they tell me that floppies lose the data stored on them after a few years, didn't know that so I'm glad I could transfer it before I lost it!! Great price, too!

I was looking for a Floppy Disk Drive for my mac. The ad read for use with mac however when I received it was for a pc. It was a complete waste of time. I ended up purchasing one for a mac at the Micro Center here in Houston for the same price.

Works great, no problems. Would recommend to a friend who needed a Floppy Drive.
