Rating:  - May not boot, but other OK in XP
I need to boot to a floppy on occassion, so bought this since newer computers tend to not ship anymore with floppy drives but support USB floppy drive boot in the BIOS. This thing works OK when up and running in Windows XP(maybe a bit slow but hey, it's a floppy drive). However, as a boot device it is extremely unreliable (at least on Dell Optiplex 320's and 330's) and you can become wealthy by betting that it won't boot.

Rating:  - It did what I needed
I had some very old floppies with photos but my up-to-date computer does not have a floppy drive. This drive was cheap and very easy to use (plug it in) and did what I needed, saved some old photos. If I never use it again, it will have been a good buy.
Rating: - Nicely-done FDD for USB
There's not much to say about this drive, apart from the fact that I plugged it into a Vista PC and it worked just fine. I found it useful to bring up the Disk Manager and change the drive letter to "A:" so that other users expecting it there wouldn't be surprised.
Rating:  - Didn't work
If you have WinXP, click on start, then my computer, drive A will show. I was able to format a disk, but that was it. I had a dell external floppy, life span was less than a fly, but did the job. Buy dell. These floppys are extremely sensitive so handle with extreme care.
Rating: - Sabrent USB External 3.5 in 1.44 MB 2x Floppy Disk Drive
This product has been a good investment. I am happy to be able to access old data that I have on floppies through my laptop's USB port. No problems, no confusing software to install, and it works with Windows Vista. Very simple.
