Summary: May not boot, but other OK in XP
Comment: I need to boot to a floppy on occassion, so bought this since newer computers tend to not ship anymore with floppy drives but support USB floppy drive boot in the BIOS. This thing works OK when up and running in Windows XP(maybe a bit slow but hey, it's a floppy drive). However, as a boot device it is extremely unreliable (at least on Dell Optiplex 320's and 330's) and you can become wealthy by betting that it won't boot. Of course my office-mate's Sony external USB floppy drive, with the same boot diskette I am using, always works. So, I can't rate it higher than 3 stars, and that's only because it seemingly works OK in Windows and did not cost a fortune, but I am going to have to buy something else for booting to a USB floppy drive. Hope this helps.

Summary: It did what I needed
Comment: I had some very old floppies with photos but my up-to-date computer does not have a floppy drive. This drive was cheap and very easy to use (plug it in) and did what I needed, saved some old photos. If I never use it again, it will have been a good buy.

Summary: Nicely-done FDD for USB
Comment: There's not much to say about this drive, apart from the fact that I plugged it into a Vista PC and it worked just fine. I found it useful to bring up the Disk Manager and change the drive letter to "A:" so that other users expecting it there wouldn't be surprised.

Summary: Didn't work
Comment: If you have WinXP, click on start, then my computer, drive A will show. I was able to format a disk, but that was it. I had a dell external floppy, life span was less than a fly, but did the job. Buy dell. These floppys are extremely sensitive so handle with extreme care.

Comment: This product has been a good investment. I am happy to be able to access old data that I have on floppies through my laptop's USB port. No problems, no confusing software to install, and it works with Windows Vista. Very simple.
