Review: Does the trick! - This worked just fine in transferring files from old 3.5" floppy disks. Although this is plug-and-play, a few tips from the manual (found online at the URL mentioned in the slip of paper included in the package) may prevent frustration. 1. Make sure that the floppy disk you are using is 1.44 MB density. Any other density will not work with this drive. 2. After plugging the drive into your computer, make sure you allow a full minute or so for the disk to mount before inserting a floppy disk into the drive. Even if the drive shows up as “Floppy Disk Drive (A:) right away, it might not read the disk if you don't wait the full minute. 3. Connect the drive directly into a USB port, and NOT through a USB hub or extension. On some computers, the USB port may not be providing enough power to daisy chain through a 2nd device. 4. On some computers, the USB ports on the back have more power than the ones in front. So if it's not working when connected to the USB port in front, try one in back. 5. If the write-protect tab on the disk is closed, the drive might not work with the disk. The tab slides up and down to cover or uncover a square in the upper right-hand corner of the disk (when viewed from the label side). If the square is uncovered, then the disk is write-protected. FWIW, I had no trouble reading write-protected disks. 6. Before accessing any of the files, highlight (select) all of the files listed (you can use CTRL-A as a shortcut). This will cache the files and make transferring and opening the files much faster. A green progress bar should fill up in the explorer bar. Allow the bar to fill completely before trying to access the files.
Review: Works great - Works great right out of the box with no issues. Excellent little device! Update: When I use it on my 6-year-old Toshiba PC running Windows 7, it's quiet, with no clicking or extraneous noises until the floppy is loaded. Then you hear the usual whirring noises. On a whim, I plugged it into my new MacBook Pro running OS X Yosemite. There was a rhythmic clicking from the unit before I inserted a floppy. I was afraid that it wouldn't work. Surprise - it accepted the floppy and I easily wrote a file to it using Word 2010. When I hooked the Sabrent back into my Toshiba to copy the MacBook file onto my PC, my Win 7 immediately told me that I would have to reformat the disk before I could use it. I closed that dialog box and opened the Sabrent floppy drive using Start/Computer. The drive was recognized, my file was on it, and I was able to retrieve it without any problems. This is a software issue, not a problem with the Sabrent floppy drive. It works great! Just Be careful if your computer tells you you have to reformat. You'll probably lose everything on the disk if you do.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ a very helpful gadget
*by M***H on March 19, 2014*

I was looking for a way to get old documents and photos off of about 60 floppies I had in a box. I had stored the documents and photos on the floppies on a 1996 windows pc, and now I have a mac. Additionally there were more photos and docs on the '96 machine that I wanted to save. I wasn't sure if or how this would work. The information provided didn't make me feel very confident. However the price was right, and I took a chance. Overall it worked very well. My goal here is to comment on the Sabrent floppy drive as well as explain what I did to recover all these documents and photos. I'm probably not the only one who let too much time go by without taking care of this sort of situation. First of all, I could have given the Sabrent drive 5 stars, but I chose to give it 4 because of a few issues. The instructions that came with it seem to only apply to windows machines. Would it really hurt to provide a little more helpful information?!?!? It is plug and play with my mac, but not always. Sometimes I'd plug it in and it would make a grinding noise indicating it was ready to read a disk. Sometimes it only made a humming sound, and I'd have to unplug it, wait, replug it in and try again. Sometimes I had to restart my mac to get it to work. Sometimes I was able to get through several disks in a row without any trouble. So it was temperamental, and that's why the 4 star rating. I must admit I'm very grateful that it did work because I'd forgotten about many of the photos. I was extremely happy to recover them again! It was like opening a time capsule! So please take this into consideration. There are several floppy drives available and I have no idea how well they work. In hindsight, based on my results, I would recommend buying this floppy drive. Just know that you'll need to invest some time and patience. The following is meant to be helpful to anyone faced with a similar situation. My old '96 laptop still worked, but it didn't have USB, and was only dial-up. So I had no way to connect it to a printer, the internet, or another computer. I was able to put everything I wanted from the old laptop on floppies and move them to my mac with the assistance of the Sabrent floppy drive. Most of the photos were jpegs, and they transferred just fine. I was able to put them right in iPhoto with no trouble. Most of the docs were created in Word '95, and Apple doesn't support that anymore. Google Drive can read just about anything. So I moved the docs from the floppy drive to folders in Google Drive on my mac, and they opened just fine. Some of the formatting didn't transition so well with old resumes, but I don't care about that. All in all there were only about 2 or 3 documents I was never able to open, and I was OK with that. I consider this project a long-overdue success.
