Just what I was looking for! [Posted on 2008-02-08]
I needed a good quality floppy drive to connect to my Windows Vista desktop (I have a wonderful old Sony Mavica camera that only uses floppies). This drive was an excellent value and works flawlessly. It was much nicer than I expected and I would recommend it without reservation.
Excellent purchase [Posted on 2008-02-13]
I purchased this simply for an external floppy drive. The drive works excellent and is a great buy for the cost. I recommend this drive to anyone that wants a simple external floppy drive.

floppys are becoming obsolete [Posted on 2008-03-31]
My new computer was without an internal floppy disk drive..problem solved by purchase from Amazon for external fdd recommended by my Dell representative...it was cheaper than buying from Dell...talk about great public relations on Dell's part..and thanks to Amazon for their fair prices...everything is a go with my new computer...
A good deal for doing a Windows Backup [Posted on 2008-04-20]
I bought an external hard drive in order to backup the entire contents of my laptop. Unfortunately Windows XP won't let you create a restore disk on CD-rom, it has to be a floppy disk. That left me two options: 1) buy a full-fledged software package like Norton Ghost for about $70 or buy this cheap floppy disk drive. Given the price difference and the mediocre reviews for the fancy software packages, I went with the disk drive. The Windows software for backing up your entire hard drive could not be simpler, and it worked like a charm. The only trouble I had was that the floppy disc drive couldn't use or format some of my diskettes. I have yet to figure out why. Other old diskettes worked fine. They might just be so old that they degraded, but they were a type that it is supposed to be able to use.
