Old tech but still useful. Worked well.

This is a great product and such an easy and cheap way to use old discs on new tech

a bit plasticy, but worked remarkably well with 30 year old disks.

Works well and a great modern solition!

did exactly what i needed, found a load of old floppy disks when doing moving officers and with this i quickly saved the data onto the cloud, was using windows 10 at the time

I returned this item as the old floppy speed technology was like watching paint dry. Most of the games on the old floppies I kept over the years would not work with win 11. I binned all, about a ton of old floppies.

I just plugged it into my laptop via a usb socket put an old floppy disk with some very important pictures on the disk and select drive A on screen which brought up list of disk contents. I selected all the images and then call them up on screen to view the quality was better than my original floppy disk drive writing. Great Purchase, Easy to use with windows 10 would purchase again. Seems well built.

Okay, so I found a handful of floppy disks that I had from 20+ years ago. Before recycling them, I decided to buy a cheap external drive to check what teenage me had stored. The drive crashed on the first use, nearly crashed on the second use, and finally, I managed to get it to transfer files, but it is incredibly slow. Keep in mind, the total data size is at most 1MB. For the first disk, it managed to transfer the two files. On the second disk, it kept failing to transfer a 1MB file due to an I/O object error, after attempting for a couple of minutes. On the third disk, it took a couple of minutes before informing me that it had failed to transfer the file. A couple of the disks transferred the files fine after a long "not responding" period. In many cases, you need to disconnect and reconnect the drive to get it to read a new disk; otherwise, it just presents the information from the previous disk. At one point, after using about eight disks, I ejected one and the drive started making a disturbing clicking and whirring sound, like it was broken.
