Review: Works under Windows 11 / Linux ... But Not Windows XP - I needed a floppy drive to access photos and files on some 25+ year old diskettes. I didn't know what condition the diskettes were in, but I figured I would try this device. The good news is that Linux (Fedora 41) recognizes it as a "plug and play" floppy drive when it is connected to my computer - as does Windows 11. I tried connecting it to a Windows XP system that I run as a virtual machine under Linux, and Windows XP recognizes that there is a new USB device attached but does not recognize it as a floppy. I'm assuming that the same would happen if Windows XP were being run natively but do not know that for sure. Once connected, the device seems to work just fine, but it struggled to read some of my floppies - probably due to the age of the floppies and their unknown condition rather than anything being wrong with the device itself. Overall, a decent drive for the money, and I give it 5 stars.
Review: Worked right away on both Windows 11 and Linux - Worked right away on both Windows 11 and Linux. Simple plug in and go.

Worked right away on both Windows 11 and Linux. Simple plug in and go.

### ⭐ Waste of money and time! Do not buy!
*by T***. on July 24, 2025*

I wasted several hours troubleshooting this device. I changed a ton of power settings on my pc and made sure it was plugged in to the correct USB port for enough power. After some time I was able to get it to read about 3 disks and then it failed completely and ate a disk! It's stuck in the drive and now I need to rip it open to get my disk back and can't even return it. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY! I would give this review 0 stars of I can, but I have to give at least 1 star to post.
