Other than that there is no realistic use for having a 3.5" drive on a regular basis. So if it survived the task of letting me review a hundred or so disks the $13 price will have been well worth it. Comments: 1. Surprisingly nice quality of construction 2. Installed itself under Win 7 in a few seconds 3. Recognized the first disk I inserted and read it perfectly, and every disk thereafter 4. Brought back memories of how slow 3.5" floppies really were (not the fault of the drive) 5. The actual manufacturer of the drive is NEC NOTE: If you plug the drive in and no motor starts whirring or lights come on, don't assume it's defective. The drive will ONLY spin up after you insert a disk AND manually select Drive A on your list of drives, then it goes dormant again until you mouse click on a file you want to open. I think that's why some people thought they received a defective drive. [UPDATE] - I hadn't finished the task of copying the old floppies yet and recently bought a new high-end computer with Win 7 - 64 bit (by choice). Same as before, the drive was recognized instantly and had no problem reading the disks. I offer this to others who are trying to work with old floppies that may be 30 years old ... it may not be this drive but simply that with time those old disks have aged to the point they are just not usable. 95% of mine read fine but a few were simply too old and dried out to spin properly. Review: Works Great on Windows 10 - Works on Windows 10 as indicated in the product description. I simply plugged the reader into one of my laptop USB ports, opened up Devices & Printers and there it was. With a right click on the disk drive symbol, it then showed an option to read the files. A click on that and all the files I had on the floppy disk were listed. All my files opened up without any problems. Now I was able to retrieve all my old documents and pdf's and copy over onto my laptop. The one thing I must say is that it was somewhat noisy. Scared me at first as I thought maybe there was something wrong with the reader but maybe I've forgotten just how noisy the old floppy disk readers were??? ## Features - Plug and Play: No extra driver required, Power directly from the USB port, be compatible with USB 1.1/2.0/3.0,Read/Write 1.44 MB floppy disk - Widely Applicable: External drive ideal for Desktops and Laptops, Support for Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8/10,for Mac, Notebook,PC,for IBM Dell Acer Sony HP etc - Interference Preventer: Floppy disk drive has a strong anti-interference ability - Easy to Carry: High quality hard plastic enclosure, beautiful and durable，Super slim and lightweight - Attention: In order to get enough power from floppy disk, please plug our external disk drive directly into the motherboard's rear USB port.

I have an older embroidery machine that reads 3.5 disks.** A: Yes, this drive will record on the 3.5" disks as well as read them. **Q: Can you use this drive to erase and reuse a disk that already has information on it?** A: Erase and reuse functionality worked fine for me in windows 8.0 machine. Some disks had trouble reading, but that may have been a symptom of age and condition. **Q: does it work on windows 10? i just trying to install driver cd-rom that comes with it but doesn't run** A: If you are having trouble getting the USB external diskette drive to be recognized in Windows 10, then try plugging it into the USB port before booting up the computer. That worked for me. I was able to access the data on many diskettes and modify files, too. If you still don't see it in Win10, then it might be required to create a shortcut on the desktop for the external diskette drive. I was unable to just plug the drive in while Win10 was already running. PnP compatible? I wonder. **Q: Can you use this drive to reformat a disk?** A: Deborah ---I don't know the answer to that question. I have never tried to reformat a disk with the external USB A Drive. But, originally when an A drive was an internal part of an older computer disks could be reformatted using the internal A drive. All I can say is give it a try.
