Too Slooowwww.... [Posted on 2003-09-11]
I bought this floppy drive because I have a new Mac G5 who doesn't have a floppy drive built in it. The drive was very easy to install (at least on a Mac). You just have to plug the USB cable into your computer and wait fo the drive to appear on your Desktop. There was no need of CDs or downloads or any kind of installation. The only problem that I encountered was that It took a few minutes for the drive to appear in my computer. Every time I poped a floppy drive I had to wait exactly 1 minute for the disk to appear. And also when I opened a document inside my floppy it took forever for the document to open. I don't know how fast are any other floppy drives out there, but I found this one extremly slow. If you are going to buy this product just for transporting documents from one computer to another, maybe you should just use e-mails...

Excellent product. Easy to setup and install driver software. Ruggedly built hardware and cable. Already outlasted two I owned previously by different manufacturers.
The missing hardware [Posted on 2008-06-27]
My newest computer arrived with no floppy drive. Since I needed one in order to access some old programs I searched the Internet. Many drives are available, but I chose the Iomega since I have had excellent results with their products in the past. I was not disappointed. The drive installed with no problem. Vista immediately recognized it and assigned it a drive letter and I was off and running. A word of warning - Don't leave a floppy disk in the drive when you log off since on start-up the BIOS expects the system will be loaded from the floppy and waits for input as to what you wish to do. I have used this drive flawlessly for over a month with no problems.
