Easy to use
By Barbara J. Stevens
If you purchase a notebook computer for yourself or a college-bound child and it doesn't come with a floppy drive (which is becoming more and more common today), then buy this LaCie drive. You just plug it into the USB port. There's nothing to install. Windows will find the drive and away you go!

By Regina Pounds
Recently I bought a computer which doesn't have a floppy drive at all. Considering the floppies full of info I collected over eight years, I was dismayed! So last Friday I came across this product - after considerable comparison - and ordered it. It cost only $25.34 at the time. I chose the super saver shipping - 5 to 9 days - ad here I have it today, Tuesday, already. Using Windows XP, I didn't need the installation CD. I just plugged the USB cord in and that was it. However, there was no automatic ikon on the desktop, so I thought it didn't work. I searched My Computer's Hardware listing and found my new floppy drive..dragged the ikon over onto the desktop, and all was well. It works! It's lightweight and looks like a slim cigarette case...it's fragile. You shouldn't shake it, and the humidity in the room may be a problem, but one can take precautions.I'm very happy with the price, the fast service, and the way it works. Even at today's higher list price, it still is a steal.I'm really relieved to know I can access all of my old floppies.

By shopaholic
I got it, plugged it in and it works! And no power cord is great since I need to take it to school and that's just one less thing I need to carry around. Can't express how pleased I am (especially when you look at the price)!
