TIPS:

✔Win 11/10 system has a lot of show/hide options for File Explore,so you maybe cannot see the drive icon named "Floppy disk drive (A:)" after bring up "Windows File Explorer", please bring up “Devices and Printers” and right-Click on the drive icon named “TEACV0.0” under the “Devices”, Hover cursor over “Browse files” and then click on “Floppy disk drive(A:)”, then you will see the content of your disks.

✔When you insert second diskette, it still shows the files from the 1st disksettefor, for this issue, please make sure you use the refresh button. After insert second floppy disk inside the drive, please right click the Windows Explorer and click "refresh" in order to update the contents of the device and read the data off the newly inserted floppy disk.

✔Not all of yours disks were readable, that is a factor of age, not the drive. Some of the data had been corrupted if they are too old or they are not stored appropriately.

✔Floppy disk is characterized by small capacity and slow reading speed, please give it some time to load the data. It's normal that you hear the nostalgic soft little whirring sound as it loaded your old files. Please always wait for the disks to stop whirring before trying to do anything else.

✔This is a universal external 3.5 inch floppy disk reader, can only play 3.5 inch floppy disks on your computers.

✔When using this usb floppy drive, please connect it to the the ports on the back of the computer if yours is a desktop.

✔Please insert the disk into the drive firstly, and then plug the USB connector into your computer USB port, then your computers will recognize the drive soon.

✔No worries if you don't see a light on the front of the drive when you plug it in, you will see it when your drive start to read/write your disks.

✔Please do not use an USB hub,USB extension cable or USB adapter to prevent the drive from working properly due to insufficient power.

✔Not all of yours disks were readable, that is a factor of age, not the drive. Some of the data had been corrupted if they are too old or they are not stored appropriately.

✔Sometimes you can see the files, copy and move them, but we cannot open it. Because our computer was so new that it did not have correct software on it that would open some of the old files on the disks, you will need the specific application to open the file. It's software problem,not the drive.

✔Unlike flash drives you can't unmount the drive or eject the disks from windows. You have to press the button on the unit to eject the disk.

I was a little gunshy after getting one with “good” reviews when it was junk and I had to return it. This one, however, completely restored the faith.

Super easy install with plug and play and no software to install. Works just like a thumb drive but way smaller.

--Floppy Disk Reader USB C External 3.5 inch 1.44 MB
I cleaned out a closet that held a lot of old computer stuff, laptops, tablets etc. I had storage boxes full of about 200 or so 3.5 inch floppy disks. (Life before apps! We used these for everything)
With my laptop now, of course it doesn't have a 3.5 inch disk drive to be able to read the disks so I could separate what to keep and what to toss.
Happily, I found this on Amazon, and gave it a try. I found about 100 disks that had stuff I wanted to keep as an archive (fonts, old games, documents, etc.). I was able to transfer from the disks what I wanted to my laptop, and reformat the disks I didn't want and I gave the blank disks to the thrift store.
I do have to mention that it was a little confusing when my laptop refused to recognize the external drive. I had to fuss with it I think for about 45 minutes trying to follow the instructions, and then use the suggestions they gave to try to figure out what was going wrong! My Dell laptop would not recognize or list the unit as a device. I almost gave up and was thinking of returning it.
I think what finally worked was when I rebooted my laptop at one point with the USB left plugged in, then the laptop recognized it as Drive A, and everything worked perfectly after that.
I'm really happy I was able to find this on Amazon. To state the obvious, Amazon really does have everything (LOL).

I finally got around to cleaning out my computer room and wanted to get rid of my old floppies and CDRs. They're taking up space and I don't think I've opened them in ten years, I just keep them around because I might have something cool on them like programming assignments for college or something.

So I bought this guy since I don't have a floppy drive on any of my computers anymore. I just plugged it into my little Ser5 running linux and it popped up in gnome. I've created images for two of my 50 or so old floppies already and the thing worked flawlessly. I was surprised the floppies were still good, I thought they were supposed to go bad. They have been sitting on my shelf in a plastic storage case though and I haven't been messing with them.

I purchased this particular drive due to the higher star reviews. My old drive worked flawlessly until one of the metal fronts of my floppy disks broke off inside of the reader rendering it useless. This newly purchased reader read the files (most were .jpg) but none would open. Tried on two different desktop PCs one running on Win 10 the other on Win 11. Kept getting errors or it would just keep running endlessly. Will try another brand and hope for better results. Based on this one that is being returned this morning I would not recommend.
