Verbatim DataLife High Density 3.5 inch Microdisks MF-2HD 10 Diskettes Per Pack

Ok, I have to dispel some things the other Mac guy said below that are just wrong. In a very brief nutshell without getting too far into the weeds..... First, these floppies in this ad - unformatted or IBM formatted - WILL work with any Mac with a Superdrive. That's a floppy drive that can read dual-sided 1.44mb High Density disks (also called MF2-HD and FDHD). You can tell because they have TWO square holes in them. On System 7 or 8, if you have the PC Exchange control panel installed, they will read right away as IBM disks. If that control panel is not installed, it will prompt you to initialize (format) the disk upon insertion. Either way, you want to format these as Mac right away. If you read in the disk with PC Exchange and it shows up as an IBM disk, you can select it from the desktop and then go to "erase disk" under the special menu to do this. Second, vintage Macs (and Apple II series for that matter) also use a different type of disk drive if they are from the 80's and very early 90's (in the Mac Plus for example). They also take 3.5 inch plastic floppies that look just like this, but are entirely incompatible. These old Macs are double sided - dual density 800k disks. They only have ONE square hole in them. If you have an 800k floppy drive, you need 800k disks. These will not work. Maybe the other guy got a bad bunch. I dunno. But these are working flawlessly for me in a LCII and a Quadra 800.

I needed a floppy disc for an old lighting system, and these discs worked perfectly

I needed one disk to build a boot disk. Had to pay $29.99, ($3.00 apiece for ten). It would have cost me $10.00 per hundred 30 years ago. But it was worth it to be able to do the job I had to do... Overall I find Verbatim disk/cd/dvd hold up well, but these are not the disks I used to get! They are softer plastic frame and have a plastic slide media cover instead of the metal covers of yesterday. And yes, the disks I made 30 years back are 100% readable and still work when needed. It may be that these will work just as well, but I worry about that plastic slide over time. So far the disk can be written/read with a usb floppy reader, but only time willtell. Finally note that you do get labels, but no caseat all, not even a paper sleeve to protect your disk. But I'm sure we all have tons of those still around somewhere, right? Since I do want to keep this disk permanently I now need to find and buy a floppy case set, or a floppy disk index box... Can't believe I also threw away my 8" IBM DOS floppy set. Recommended as generally reliable brand, just not sure of the new design.

The floppy disks I got were grey to answer the "what color" question. I use these for my recently aquired Sony Digital Mavica MVC-FD73. The camera itself can format the disks which was good because I wasnt sure windows 10 could. Windows 10 didnt give me option to format but googling I found using command prompt did the trick. I used wikihow; Format a floppy disk.

I'm sure these are new-old-stock (my box said 2004) but all of my disks worked exactly as intended. Using them in an old Sony Mavica for strange photo nerdery, and will buy more!

My 14 year old son asked to install a new something or other on his PC that would run disks like this. Wasn't sure we could even find them. Found them here and they worked great, or at lest that's what my son said. Shipped very fast and came in perfect condition.

Bought 2 boxes. I always format 1.44mb before using. Virtually all but 2 in both boxes have bad sectors making them useless for copying disk image flies. Save your money!

Only 3 of the 10 floppy's were working, the reset were duds. Tried to return but have to go through Verbatim to do so, unfortunate and will be purchasing a different brand.

Very good

Item was as expected, good price, very pleased

i sent this to my brother as a birthday gift. he uses it in a keyboard to record songs. ( yeah. old school..but he loves it) he didn't think you could still buy these. he will be so happy when he receives them!

They work, however if your using only a USB type floppy drive then you may encounter problems formatting or writing to them. This is not a problem with the disks but how the USB drive controller interprets unformatted media. I was able to format these and use them with a old pentium 60 machine as 1.44Mb they work correctly in a USB drive after formatting in the older machine.
