This USB Floppy disc Reader is a reliable and efficient device for reading and transferring data from discs to your computer. It offers fast, hassle-free connectivity and works seamlessly with various disc formats. Compact and portable, it’s a great tool for those who still use physical media. However, it may struggle with very scratched or damaged discs. Overall, a solid choice for anyone in need of a simple disc reader. Was able to see old files

Anyone who has been involved with computers long enough (as I have) will know that there was a time when floppy diskettes were "THE" technology. If you wanted to carry files somewhere, you grabbed a floppy, copied them...waited for the s-l-o-w copy times and hoped you wouldn't exceed the size limit of 1.44 MB. Those were the days.They were the days...way back in the early 1990's, which means at this point, because they were made with a magnetic film similar to cassette tapes, they are starting to deteriorate. Sony ceased production of 3.5" floppies in 2011, and so any people who still have important memories/pictures/documents (they must be really, really tiny) will need to be able to read these diskettes. How is this going to be done since floppy disk drives stopped appearing on mail order PCs?By purchasing a USB based floppy disk drive from Wbacon, the oddly named product of this review.While the name may be odd, and mouth watering at the same time (mmhhh bacon), the device is a really well made, solidly built, sleek looking unit. It measures about 3/4" high, and 5 1/2" long, so it won't take up much desk space.But the really important part is, how does it function? If you are the proud owner of a Mac, it doesn't, or won't. Jobs couldn't wait to get rid of floppy drives. But they stayed around on PC's with Windows. I tested this unit on Windows 10, but I'm pretty sure it would test well on most Windows versions dating back to Windows 7, and perhaps even earlier. If the system has USB, it will most likely be recognized and work. And the beautiful part, NO DRIVERS NEEDED! Yes, there was a time when users had to download drivers, perhaps even mess around with .ini files to get hardware to work.Not the Wbacon, which is instantly recognized. The cable has both a USB 2.0 A type plug and a USB C type plug in case you are out of USB A ports. I tried both plugs, and Windows 10 easily recognized the drive. Copy speeds were great, but are inherently limited by the slow nature of the magnetic circle spinning around inside the diskette shell. The USB C plug doesn't improve the speed since USB 2 has plenty of speed to handle a floppy. Either way, the device is powered via the USB connection, and so nothing else is needed.If you have an old collection of 3.5" floppy drives, NOW is the time to start backing them up to your drive and then the cloud before they disintegrate and start losing data. And why not start with Wbacon. It is one of the cheaper drives out there, and as I say, it's well made and sharp looking!

This floppy disk drive worked out of the box Plug-and-Play with my MS Windows 10 Pro (for workstations) computer. It is not as fast as the Sony drive we have at work (I think that one is 2x speed) and it definitely has a much cheaper feel. It's feels like thin plastic that would crack easily if you dropped it. The sony drive was many times the price of this one, so these quality differences are completely expected and reasonable. However, for the price, it's a solid buy.The only complaint I have is that it doesn't refresh the directory in Windows when you swap a disk. All the USB floppy drives I've seen have this problem, though, and it seems to be a problem with how Windows recognized the USB interface. Windows does not seem to be informed when a disk is removed. I seen a lot of comments saying that you need to disconnect the drive and reconnect it to reload th directory when you change disks. That will work, but you can also just close the file explorer window and open a new one to do the same thing. So, it is annoying, and I feel this problem should be solvable, but it seems to be a standard problem and it's not that bad unless you have lots and lots of disks to go through. I rate it as at least as good as any of the multitude other drives at this price point. I would recommend it and buy it again if needed.
