RAAYOO Floppy Disk Reader USB Type A/C Floppy Disk Drive/Player/Converter External 3.5 inch 1.44 MB Floppy Disc Reader Compatible with Windows 11/10/8/7/XP/2000 PC Laptop and Desktop

Believe it or not there are still some applications that people need and they still have them on floppy discs. This reader was plug and play and worked perfectly. May not need it again but the price point was affordable and after only one use, I feel like I got my moneys worth.

This device works like a charm. I still have a few floppy disk that I wanted to transfer a bunch of old files to a thumb drive so that I could have it for future reference. This device connects without any issues. It automatically connects and I do recommend having it on a solid surface and flat to ensure it does not have any issues of disconnecting. It is like a simple floppy disk drive where you pop the disk in or press to eject. It reads and transfer the files pretty quick considering it is a pretty small file. There was no corruption to the files nor damage to the disk. It does not get hot nor does it have any disconnect issue. The device is not too big and the cable is not too long so it is more for laptop in my option. It is also just a simple 2.0 usb. This is a great device to get old files out of the floppy disks as well as giving you a chance to keep files on floppy disk if needed.

I purchased this drive and it works perfectly. I did have an issue with my computer seeing the drive. I worked with the best tech support I have ever had to resolve the problem which we did. I would purchase from them again anytime.

Worked great!

It worked.

I might be a bit frustrated but being honest and sincere, this drive is a bust. it was unable to read a disk, then it read the disk fine. I was unable to see files on some disks, but reinserting the disk would show the files were there. I'd use copy and move with files I needed to backup, and it didn't work. The errors varied. Some say can't copy file, others went right to "disk not formatted" and that is just ridiculous. The files were still showing and not only that, I was even able to open the files and viewed them right from the floppy and yet this thing would not communicate with a USB port for copying or backing up. I used USB 2 and 3 ports on a desktop and 2 laptops trying to back the files to the respective hard drive and even tried directly to a USB thumb drive. Fail Fail Fail. I cannot judge others who had no problems but the drive I got was the worst experience I've had in years. No way is every single floppy disk I have damaged. I was able to get a few files to move but it only worked on Windows XP. Did not get any files to move using Windows 7 or Windows 10. No doubt this drive is defective or it's junk quality. Either way, there is no excuse for the functionality to be questionable on an item like this. After all these years, manufacturing one should not leave any room for error. A 15 minute job turned into several hours wasted just to try and read 7 disks. The year 1995 called and wants the tainted parts from this floppy drive back!

Reading 25 year old disks, I assumed there would be problems. The drive was able to read most disks. Reinserting a disk may improve the reading. Transfers were not consistent, occasionally working on the second or third attempt. My Windows 10 also does not refresh file information easily. This required me to reconnect the USB cable for each disk. (so there was no way to determined if the drive was a fault). Saving the files I can and not concerned about the ones I can't, this drive is good enough.

Worked good for almost all of the floppy. Save some old pictures from floppy discs.

The order was said to arrive on a date, but was one day late - pretty good. I plugged the floppy drive into my computer and it recognized it as 'Drive A' immediately. Clicked on my old 'floppy drive file' that I wanted to recover, and there it was. I copied it, and opened it as a Word file. No problems - excellent.

Worked straight away with no problems

Très bon produit il fonctionne aussi sous Windows 10

Works sometimes you have to eject and insert media several times to get read

N’a jamais lu une disquette.
