    reading 3.5" floppies works great under linux mint 17
  

*by J***M on Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2017*

reading 3.5" floppies works exactly as one would expect under linux Mint 17.1 rebecca with the minor exception that it did not mount the floppy in these steps: laptop up and running, plug in fdd, insert floppy.  i tried it again with the floppy in the drive before plugging in the usb, perfect.  afterward, ejecting the floppy and inserting a new one did exactly what it was supposed to do WRT reading - see below for my writing test.it may be that manually mounting in the fail case would have gotten it working, but after it started working, there were no problems whatsoever (well, apart from several 25-year-old files not being readable :) - manually mounting should be as simple as "mount /dev/sdb /media/xxx" (assuming "b" is your next sd device and the mount point is /media/xxx).  even before the second plug-in, the device was visible using "lsusb" and showed up asBus 005 Device 003: ID 057b:0000 Y-E Data, Inc. FlashBuster-U Floppyafter mounting, "mount" shows (among other things)/dev/sdb on /media/xxx type vfat (rw)fatlabel responds with (in my test case) "Aa".i used it only on 1.44M (MF2HD  DSDD)  and some 3M DSHD 2.0Mb floppies under linuxMint 17.1 on an hp/compaq 6910.  it operated very quietly and did not even get warm, even after several hours of use.  even tho mounted rw, i could not write to a floppy simply using"ls > /media/xxx/writetest" - it was reported as "Read-only file system" with the the write-protect tab in either position (as root) - i only tried this briefly and did not investigate further.  it may be that using dosfstools would work.  my guess is the write issue is s/w, not the drive - YMMV.the "user manual" is little more than a tri-fold bit of driver installation info for windoze systerms.  it lists a driver cd in the manifest, but there is no cd - only the manual and the drive (with attached cable) are included.j

    floppy disk
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2017*

I never knew I will ever have to use this floppy drive again as I thought it is no longer in use until I needed to access some information in a floppy disk. Off to amazon I went and ordered this portable floppy drive. I am very happy with the purchase. I have been able to access all the data and transferred it to my hard drive. I will keep this device as one never know when it will be needed again. It comes in a very compact size it is powered up by the usb cord. So you do not need any additional power source

    Not all my computers could find it.
  

*by J***. on Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2017*

I've plugged this into 2 different computers running Windows 10. Neither computer recognized it. I checked the instructions that came with it, they said to load the drivers from the provided disc. No disc was provided. A waste of money.UPDATE. I'm updating this because on the 3rd computer I plugged it into IT WORKED. If it hadn't been for the first 2 computers not working with it (I don't know why - they are all running Windows 10) I'd give it 5 stars because it works perfectly on computer 3. Like others have said, it is a little slow, but I don't have a problem with that. All my old photos and files have been safely transferred so this drive has done exactly what I wanted it to do.
