When we purchased our latest computer we discovered to our dismay there was no floppy drive! We have tons of floppy disks with "stuff" on them we want to access, wa-la the prefect fix the Sabrent USB external floppy drive. I just pluged it into an available USB port, the computer immediatly recognized it and we were in business, just that simple. from Amazon.com Re: purchase of the Sabrent SBT-UFDB USB External 3.5-Inch 1.44 MB 2x Floppy Disk Drive (Black), I could not be more satisfied. Needed to transfer some very, very valuable old Pagemaker documents that I had created, onto a new i-Mac I received for Christmas, from my son, and the Sabrent item (listed), enables me to do so. from Amazon.com I just received my Sabrent,plued it in to the SUB port, My Dell loaded in right up. from Amazon.com 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. from Amazon.com 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. from Amazon.com The external floppy disk drive has saved my old files from being lost when I got a new computer without a floppy drive. The external drive worked perfectly without any problems with Windows Vista Home Premium from Amazon.com I recently purchased a Sabrent SBT-UFDB USB External 3.5 inch Floppy Disk Drive for my new Dell Computer. As you are well aware most, if not all, new computer systems do not include a 3.5 inch disk drive anymore. from Amazon.com Once each blue moon, a floppy disk is needed. These are great. No need for external power. Just plug it into the usb port, insert the floppy disk and do whatever is needed, then remove. from Amazon.com I bought an external hard drive in order to backup the entire contents of my laptop. Unfortunately Windows XP won't let you create a restore disk on CD-rom, it has to be a floppy disk. from Amazon.com My new computer was without an internal floppy disk drive..problem solved by purchase from Amazon for external fdd recommended by my Dell representative...it was cheaper than buying from Dell...talk about great public relations on Dell's part..and thanks to Amazon for their fair prices...everything is a go with my new computer... from Amazon.com
