It would not read any floppy disks. I did find one at TigerDirect and CDW that works. It is a BYTECC BT-144 and is around $24 at either store.

Absolutely. I have an older Dell running XP with an older Buffalo external drive attached (that's why a secondBuffalo drive to a second PC) that has maybe 20,000 photos plus tons of other files on it. Assuming you havea fee USB port, an external disk is the way to go especially on older PCs with a smaller C drive.

I had no problems using windows 8. Plugged in and converted floppy discs at once without problems.

I don't know that answer as I own an SWF machine which is replaces the floppy drive via a ribbon cable and works fine. It doesn't fit exactly though....just saying.

Dear friend,thanks for your interest in our itemPlease check your keyboard's driver to see if it's with the below specification:1) With 34-pin interface & 5vDC power plug;2) With 1.44MB capacity(some disk is with only 720KB, then it should not be compatible).If your driver with the same specification as above, then you should be able to replace it with our floppy disk driver.

HiI have used this external drive on XP WinNT, Win2000 and Win7 with no problem. It is automatically detected and works as an additional local drive.

It is compatible with all windows versions. It works better when you format it to NTFS instead of FAT. Hope you have a USB 3 port so you can take advantage of its full speed.

It didn't work on Windows 7 and I'm still looking for a USB Floppy drive as I have old files I would like to convert,

Theoretically it should. However this device worked only twice for me and then died completely. I definitely would not recommend buying this one. I suggest you should try out a floppy drive from a more reliable brand.

This will work fine just like any other external USB drive. If you don't want it formatted as NTFS, it can be easily formatted as FAT32 or whatever your need is.

This is a floppy drive for 1.44MB floppy disks. If that's what kind of disks you have, then yes. If they're CDs, then no. Floppy disks haven't been common for more than 10 years, so it would be good to know what kind you have.
