For a long time I've had a large number of 3.5" floppy disks taking up shelf space in my home office since for quite a while I haven't had a computer that has a floppy disk drive. The thought of having to ditch all that stuff was unpleasant, to say the least. With this slim external disk drive (and it IS slim -- and light) I solved the problem. And very easily.It doesn't say on the box that this drive works with Windows 7 (it says it works with Win 98/2000/ME/XP/Vista). But it does. When you plug it into a USB port, Windows 7 automatically and quickly finds the needed driver. And within literally seconds you're ready to move or copy your files to your hard drive, a flash drive or wherever.As someone else warned, this drive works only with high density (2HD) disks. Just one of my disks wasn't high density, so I didn't lose much.Now if only my old Iomega ZIP drive would plug in with a VGA-USB cable and work with Windows 7 I'd be able to salvage a lot more old files. Too bad it doesn't. But at least this drive works, and works well.(One other thing: If you're moving/copying word processing files, as I have been, you may run into a problem with MS Word if you're using Office 2010 and your files use much older versions of Word, as its "backwards compatible" in only a limited way. Most of my files were written with WordPerfect, fortunately, which is entirely backwards compatible and which also lets you save files in a very large range of formats.) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Worked Great *by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2020* This floppy reader was able to read and copy nearly all the old files on floppy disks allowing me to save them on thumb drives. There were only a few files listed as either corrupted or not readable, of the dozens I wanted to save. All in all, this was a very effective product for me, and cost very little. Its speed was less than dazzling, so it gets 4 stars out of 5. The key thought here is: it worked! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Works OK in Windows 8.1 *by L***. on Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2015* This USB 1.44 MB diskette was Plug n' Play in my five year old Windows 8.1 PC without using the data CD-ROM that came with it. After a short time while the computer was discovering new hardware, Windows Explorer added Floppy Drive A: Removing and changing the diskette does NOT force a new read, which was expected based on some other comments I read here. Unplugging the drive, waiting a few seconds, and plugging it back in, THEN inserting the diskette worked every time I tried it.About some diskettes not reading -- that shouldn't be too surprising. Floppy diskette construction and design used about the same theory as cassette tapes - synthetic media with metal powder sprayed on it . Like cassettes, floppies start degrading from day one, and the Grim Reaper of disposable consumer media gets closer every time you actually USE the product. Handling, dust, and incidental magnetism, such as being near a loudspeaker, play their part, too.I plan to hook it up only when I need it and store it in its box in a cool place when I don't need it. It may not last forever, but what does? For what it costs, it works, and it works OK. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/9720795-bt-144-slim-black-usb-external-floppy-disk-drive-plug](https://www.desertcart.is/products/9720795-bt-144-slim-black-usb-external-floppy-disk-drive-plug) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
