**Q: Reading speed is slow, why?**

**Q: We can see the files, copy and move them, but we cannot open it?**
A: 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.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bringing back memories
*by J***Y on May 27, 2025*

It was easy to use, read all the floppies so far without issues. As floppies were slow back in days, it is slow. I find it faster to create a folder, then copy the files on floppy to that folder, there it will go faster, then you can sort it from there. I like the slim design, fits nicely in a VHS video case when not in use. Worked ok on my Win 10 with some setting changes (instructions provided, read it!). Seems quiet, got what I needed to save. Saved me having get a cable adaptor to use a rescued floppy drive as well finding some enclosure for it. The Micro-C adaptor is good feature on adaptability.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well as expected.
*by P***. on May 12, 2025*

I didn't try to use it on macOS, but it worked flawlessly on a Windows 11 desktop. I was shocked to find out many of the old disks I found were still readable (not all due to their age), and it helped me understand that some brands were much more susceptible for damage over time. (Imation and RadioShack brands held up the best)Great solution if you find old diskettes laying around and you'd like to see if what was on them and if you can still get it. Definitely brought back some great memories back to life.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It can read and write disks very well, and it is plug-and-play on Windows 10
*by K***R on March 19, 2025*

I am a computer hobbyist. I bought this USB disk drive to use to transfer files I had just created on old "vintage" computers that do not have a USB port, so a floppy disk is the only way to transfer files from a vintage computer to a modern computer.I plugged the drive into a Dell computer running Windows 10. Windows identified the drive and could read and write to a 1.44 MB floppy disk that was formatted on a Macintosh in MS-DOS format. I gave this drive a good test and used it to work on a Microsoft Word file with a jpeg image. It was slow, but it worked. Compared to the old days when a computer came with a floppy drive, this USB drive is a little slow, but it works, and it was simple to use. I just plugged it into the USB port and it worked. In fairness, I should have given it five stars, but it was a little slow compared to the USB floppy drives of 25 years ago. I also tested the floppy drive on a Macintosh running Mac OS 10.13, and it worked. It read the MS-DOS formatted disk and could read and write files to the disk, however, the disk could not be read by the Windows computer when I tried to see if I could transfer files from the Macintosh to a Windows 10 computer, so it seems that the drive may not be used across operating system. But the manufacturer did not claim it could work on Mac OS. It is very slow, but is probably adequate to retrieve files from old floppy disks. But it probably isn't a good idea to use it as if it were a drive from the 1990s when floppy disks were used as one main way of exchanging files.
