## Description

Review: Replacement works perfectly - I previously gave this device 3 out of 5(see below), subsequently the suppler contacted me and sent me a replacement. this worked perfectly. Couple of points to remember, it won't read 720K floppy disks, whe you eject the disk and insert a new one you need to click on the floppy drive to refresh the explrer window. Other than that this one works perfectly. - the previous drive must have been faulty "Connected to the PC (Win 10) ok, and appeared as drive a: Out of 10 floppy disks read three of them, and I could transfer files, however when you managed to get the disk out (Yes it needs pair of tweezers) and inset the next one it doesn't read it. Refresh doesn't work, you have to unplug the drive and then reconnect to get it to recognise that a new disk has been inserted"
Review: Straightforward, trouble-free. - Worked fine, straight out of the box. It's worth knowing that external drives like this don't register with Windows Disc Management, so file recovery software won't work with them. For general read / write functions they're fine. Some of these drives recommend that you plug into a USB port at the back of the PC (directly into the backplane) rather than plugging into the front, because of power requirements. I found no problem with either front or back USB ports. The default driver in Windows will handle the drive, although a specific driver is available online.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well on Mac, great value and just what I required.
*by J***N on 13 January 2015*

Based on other reviews I wasn't certain that this would work with my Mac, but it has performed without trouble (I used a MacBook Pro 17" running OSX Yosemite 10.10.1. The drive appears well made and has a good clean white appearance. No instructions are included for Macs so here is what I did - pretty intuitive but may help others. 1) Connect drive to a USB port (I found it worked fine running through a hub, but if connect to a USB port on the computer if you are having problems). No further installation is required. 2) Insert a disk into the drive. 3) The drive will spin up, mount the disk and read contents, a disk drive icon will appear on your desktop and will show as a new drive on your finder under DEVCES probably as 'NONAME'. 4) Select this drive and you should see the files on the disk - access the files as any other drive. The disk will probably keep spinning and whirring all the time you have the drive mounted. 5) Unmount / Eject the disk in Finder (or drag the icon on the desktop to the trash) BEFORE physically ejecting the disk from the drive. The drive is rather noisy when in use, and seems to keep the disk spinning all the while the disk is inserted. When a disk isn't in the drive it 'chirps' every couple of seconds, so I unplug it when I have finished.
