Review: Works if you know how to attach and detach it relative to when the disk is inserted. - Worked well once I understood how to use it. steps: 1. insert disk into un-powered un-connected device 2. plug device into your computer directly or a powered hub not a passive hub for usb 3. access your files 4. to change disks extract the drive off of USB 5. once disconnected go back to step 1 and repeat. if you are from a time when you remember hot swapping these disks from your computer like me this was initially confusing as to why it would not update. USB makes it behave a bit differently. also I did not have to tell windows to "eject" the disk like you do with USB stick drives. just pull it off of the usb and windows will handle it. For reference, i am on a windows 10 machine.
Review: Good for old floppies - Works as intended. I was able to recover most of my wife's 20 year old floppies. She has been looking for a couple of old pictures she thought were lost in one of her many movings before we met. Easy to use and no problems connecting it to my Windows 11 PC.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Disk Reader
*by A***R on January 17, 2026*

We needed this reader because we had some pictures that were on some 3.5 disks and we no longer had a computer with a reader. This one worked great and was affordable. The reason for the 4 star is the reader is kind of noisy
