Review: works great! - I had about a dozen 3.5 floppy discs that I had since the early 2000's and realized the photos on them weren't on my laptop in any files. Photos of my kids, vacations, past pets, etc. I found this disc reader and took a chance that the discs would still be readable after all these years.... They were! I was able to save these photos that I figured would be gone forever. I am so happy I took a chance on this device. It was easy to use. Just plug and play. The original files were saved to the discs on an windows 98 desk top and my windows 11 laptop had no trouble communicating with the old files. They were all saved as JPEGs so it should have been no big deal but with my luck I wasn't too hopeful. Pleasantly surprised and so glad it worked out so well and easy. Great price! Quick shipping!
Review: Reads My Old 3 1/2" Floppy Disks - The product was delivered in 4 days. It is plug and play on my 3-year-old Samsung laptop. It works as expected, except for one thing. When I put a disk in the drive, the drive recognizes and displays the disk's contents on my PC. When I remove the disk and inserted another, the drive does not read the new disk. The work-around is to unplug the drive from the PC and reconnect it. THEN it reads the new disk. This could be a driver problem, but the Windows 11 software says that I have the latest available driver for the drive. Considering the low price of the drive, it is a minor problem. The floppy drive did what I needed it to do.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mostly works
*by A***E on April 28, 2021*

I bought this specifically to read an old floppy disk I had lying around. The first few times I used it, it didn't seem to work. I heard the USB connection sound in Windows but the drive never showed up in File Explorer. I read a review online which mentioned a similar problem and recommended inserting the floppy disk prior to connecting the drive to a USB port. Once I did that, I was able to see the floppy drive show up in File Explorer. The only issue was sometimes it seemed the drive disappeared. Additionally, it looks like the drive can get into a bad state if it's unplugged while reading a disk, where upon re-inserting the USB cable the drive status light stays on without anything obvious happening. My solution to get around these issues was to: 1. Have File Explorer open before connecting the drive 2. Insert the floppy disk before connecting the drive 3. Connect the drive and immediately open it when it shows up in File Explorer 4. If the drive status light stays on when plugging it in, unplug the drive for a minute or so (my hypothesis is that this allows any capacitors to discharge) The experience could be much better but honestly there aren't many options for floppy disk readers these days anyway.
