I got lucky! Electronics

I've been looking everywhere for a really good USB drive for at least two years. ALL the others I checked didn't get great reviews and I have about a gazillion old floppies to go through. This drive is probably better than any drive that was available when drives were used on a daily basis. It works great, you just plug it in and start digging through all those old floppy disks you have. It is well made, works perfectly and is not too expensive. Even if it was a little hard to find.

Pros
  • Not just useful for its intended purpose
Cons
  • There are flaws

Easily add a floppy drive

Many new laptops don't come with floppy drives. Support for users who need floppy disks but do not have a floppy drive can be difficult. The Memorex 3.5 external USB drive is easy to use and affordable. No software required (at least for the latest versions of Windows and Mac OS). It is immediately recognized by the system and can be used. (Connect a USB cable to the system, insert a floppy disk into the floppy drive, one floppy disk will be visible!) This product is particularly good as it…

Pros
  • Good value
Cons
  • weak

Works perfectly. for floppy and tape drives

A few years ago we had a digital camera that used floppy disks. Since then we've moved on to other digital cameras and the laptop we have now didn't have a floppy drive. To save images from floppy disks, I needed a reader. When this one arrived I plugged it into the USB and it worked right away. I haven't tried saving anything to a floppy disk, but it does a good job of viewing photos from floppy disks.

Pros
  • Several competitors
Cons
  • unreliable

Fast, powerful drive

I bought a Memorex USB floppy drive, the packaging looks a bit different but it's probably the same product. For the record, my part number is 3202 3239. With that caveat, I'd say this drive is pretty good (assuming the one shown here is identical). I have a built in USB cable that is about 2 feet long. It was recognized by Windows XP without any problems. And the best thing is that he is fast in both reading and writing. While I haven't done a thorough comparison, I would suspect it might be…

Pros
  • Highly rated by testers for support and durability
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options

Memorex 1.44 MB USB floppy disk drive

Yes, it's a shame that I still need something like this, but this device works perfectly. Plug and play - plugged into my USB port and in a matter of seconds the good old A drive was up and running. Roughly twice as fast as the old "standard" floppy drive it replaces (both reading and writing). I only use "high density" floppy disks (that's quite a relative term, isn't it? :P ), so I can't talk about lower density floppy disks. If you are "stuck in the past" and need to use a floppy drive, I…

Pros
  • Hands-free
Cons
  • Very expensive
