A good deal for doing a Windows Backup - History Buff, Apr 20, 2008
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. That left me two options: 1) buy a full-fledged software package like Norton Ghost for about $70 or buy this cheap floppy disk drive. Given the price difference and the mediocre reviews for the fancy software packages, I went with the disk drive. The Windows software for backing up your entire hard drive could not be simpler, and it worked like a charm. The only trouble I had was that the floppy disc drive couldn't use or format some of my diskettes. I have yet to figure out why. Other old diskettes worked fine. They might just be so old that they degraded, but they were a type that it is supposed to be able to use.

Just what I was looking for! - Noah's mom, Feb 08, 2008
I needed a good quality floppy drive to connect to my Windows Vista desktop (I have a wonderful old Sony Mavica camera that only uses floppies). This drive was an excellent value and works flawlessly. It was much nicer than I expected and I would recommend it without reservation.
