Review on 📼 BYTECC BT-144 Slim USB External Floppy Disk Drive - Black | Plug & Play | USB Powered by Ricky Rey

This drive is handy and saved me from having to add an internal drive. It's small, light, and works just as well as any internal drive. Thanks to plug and play, I can use the drive with both my Vista 64-bit desktop and Windows 7 64-bit laptop. It's great for transferring small data files between two PCs and sharing hundreds of drives, data and empty leftovers from previous pieces. I used it to transfer many data files from floppy disks to my computer and then to CDs. I like that the USB cable is always connected to the device - it can't be lost. The cord is about two feet long, which is the optimal length for my setup. Some of my disks are over ten years old. Some were not readable by the drive. The drive is not to blame. Floppy disks tend to deteriorate over time - they are magnetic and are therefore affected by heat, cold and time. Be warned and don't blame the disc. No hard drive can read what doesn't exist.
