Customer Reviews

Good little drive.
This drive works great with my laptop (PC). Cable is about 18" which is fine for my needs. Very slim and the eject button pops the disk out quite far, no digging to get to it.

it worked
I took the California bar exam on a laptop; the bar examiners required a floppy drive to download my answers, but only permitted one power cord, for the main laptop. I used this little drive and it was critical that it not let me down. It worked. I should add that it is compact, light, easy to pack with the laptop, doesn't make undue power demands, and is quiet. If you need an external drive, esp. with a laptop, this little unit will do nicely.

Highly recommended!
I always dread getting new computer hardware, as it always seems to mean hours of frustration attaching cords, uploading drivers, etc. (I'm not the most computer-literate person.) However, my laptop doesn't have a floppy drive and I have a few boxes of old floppies that I finally decided to deal with by transferring their contents to CD. I ordered this SmartDisk drive for that task. I was absolutely amazed to be able to open the box, attach the usb cord and start using it immediately (not even a power cord to mess with!). It literally took 20 seconds!! Granted, I'm not asking for a lot out of this drive, but it has performed very well. I couldn't be happier!!
