USB Floppy Drive 3.5-inch FDD Reader for PC Windows/XP / 7/8/10/11, Portable External Floppy Disk Reader 1.44 MB, Compatible with Mac, Floppy Disk to USB Converter, Plug and Play

The disc reader was very easy to use, basically I just pluged it into my laptop. Using this floppy drive reader, I was able to get pictures off two very old 3.5 hard disks and save them to my computer. I am extremely happy I was able to save the pictures which were taken in 1999!!! The quality of the pictures is great.

FANTASTIC!!! At last I can read floppy disks written on Mac System 7 in the 1990s using my 21st century Mac that has no floppy drive! I'd pay TWICE the price for how this little USB disk drive gives me easy plug%26play access to old long-lost files my Microsoft operating system can't read. Thank you so much!

I like the fact they still exist and compatible for todays technology. I had pictures on disk from longtime old day back yonder didn't know. Enough said, device is a lifesaver.

I bought this to transfer dozens of floppy discs of my 21 yr. old grandson ehen he was born till he was about 12. I didnt have an updated computer so it did a great job. Very happy with it.!

Easy way to access my floppy relics, that still have some valuable files on them. Plug and play on my Windows 11 laptop.

I run Ventura based Mac M1. Worried it would not run but it did. Old MacOS don't work according to blogs. Need to plug in (firmly) to USB-C port. Could not get USB-A port on dongle to work. MUST REBOOT after plugging in. One description somewhere says IS Mac compatible. Another does not reference Mac. I took a flier and it worked. Only hint on instructions is in the Walmart page showing the unit. There are 4 or 5 panes of info and one of them shows a Mac screen on "What's on USB?" Once unit is recognized by Mac OS, simply plug in a disk and you can copy contents to your hard drive. 30 years ago I wrote a program before retirement. And saved it. Probably based on Solaris Sun computer so was worried about file formats. File extensions don't map to Mac extensions nicely, so just use TextEdit. Well, that's for source files. Astonished I could retrieve the files. --jim

The device is pretty simple. Easy to install plug and play. I'm using a PC with Windows 10 so I don't know how the device will perform on MACs. I successfully retrieved jpeg and tga images stored on some 90s era floppy's but there is a problem with refreshing the contents list when a new disk is inserted. I popped the 2nd disk in and out and back in but the contents list would not update to align with the contents of the 2nd floppy. I tried several different tactics to refresh the contents list but the only thing that worked was to unplug the drive from the USB port and plug it back in. The final remedy then to read a newly inserted floppy is to unplug and replug the drive each time you change disks. Sort of a pain in the butt so even tho this drive technically works, I can not recommend buying this disk drive.

The drive did not work on my Windows 11 computers. I tried multiple times to no avail. I returned the item to Walmart but was refunded only the cost of the drive and not the $8 or so mailing charge for sending it to me since it was not in stock locally.

This item says to insert disk after I have inserted disk, and it gives a loading/spinning disk before saying that. It doesn't open any disk I put in it. It is a total waist for me. I got it because it says compatible with my computer program.

would not play any of my cassettes. could not find any drivers that would work with any of my machines to go with the item. no drivers xame with this item
