Like new expression is sometimes misleading

Like new expression is sometimes misleading but I am very happy with this purchase, although the disks are outdated I still play around with DOS.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

The floppy disks you still choose

bought them for my husband who still uses floppy disks too old to change he says. However, they are still the best choice for him. Good brand and I am very happy with it.

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • not trendy

Excellent find well suited for accessories and consumables

I bought a floppy disk for my laptop that didn't have some save files installed only to find the floppy disk is not suitable for the low range Myenesity Oldity Discs AND OF COURSE I CANNOT FIND A HIGH DENSITY DISC (1.44) ON THE SITE SO AMAZON COMES TO MY SAVINGS - THIS DISC PERFECTLY SUITS MY NEEDS, WAS WRITTEN ONTO IT AND WORKS PERFECTLY. IF YOU NEED A DISC THAT SIZE, I ADVISE YOU TO SEE THEM AS THEY GET HARDER TO SEE. GREAT PRICE, BRAND, QUALITY AND QUANTITY. THE ONLY MISSING IS A STORAGE…

Pros
  • inspires confidence
Cons
  • minor problems

Pleasantly Surprised

Based on the reviews I read about the product, I didn't expect much. In fact, I expected the floppy disks to be decompressed and I just hoped they would work! I was amazed when I received the package and they were packed very neatly in 3 original boxes of 10. So far, so good. I have ordered more and am waiting for delivery. Thank you for an outdated but much-needed product for few of us.

Pros
  • Blank Media
Cons
  • Very Expensive

May require reformatting

I received unopened discs. These discs are new from old stock meaning they may have sat on a shelf in a warehouse for 20 years or more so over time they may have lost their track and sector magnetism. This can be fixed by low-level formatting in DOS (FORMAT A: /U). This will write new tracks and sectors and make the discs usable again. I used to order a pack of 50 and they were in Macintosh format. They can also be reformatted into PC format under DOS.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Small parts
