USB Floppy Drive

Nobody seems to have developed a driver that will work with this device. Couldn't get it to work with either Windows 10 or Ubuntu 16.04. I leave the disc because the price is low. Maybe one day I can get it working with my system.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Style 90

Simple is best in the data warehouse

Package arrived as planned. It was a matter of connection and usage, that's all. I use an external drive for work and don't need the frustration and distraction of things not doing what they were designed to do. The Toshiba external drive helps make my remote work less stressful than it should be.

Pros
  • All positive
Cons
  • Can't remember

So easy Computers and accessories

Needed to recover data from old floppy disks. The Toshiba brand is trusted. Fast delivery. Package opened, no drivers or documentation found. PC running Windows 7 connected to the USB drive. The hard drive was found, the drivers were installed, the floppy disks were inserted and the data was ready to be copied. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing was needed to make it work.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • For old

External drive.

The drive is easy to use and works perfectly. I like the soft, non-slip, raised feet that allow you to stand it on your computer without fear of it slipping off.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Legacy model

Works great with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS!

I have had absolutely no issues or issues with this Toshiba PA3109U-1FDD external USB drive running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I'm also using XP Windows in Virtualbox 4.3.10 and haven't had any problems either. Here I will share some simple information to make this drive immediately available in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, which worked great for me. ***** ***************************** Stolen from AskUbuntu. Here is the actual answer to get the floppy drive working. Open a terminal and login as sudo Open gedit asโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Speed

Excellent buy in the Computers and Accessories section

This product met all my expectations. I needed an external drive to transfer a lot of pictures and other data from floppy disks to CDs. I wanted a well-known branded product and trusted the Toshiba name. I wanted plug and play and this drive is exactly that. Revain's customer reviews helped me a lot with my purchasing decision. The price was good and delivery was promised.

Pros
  • Data storage
Cons
  • Not sure
