Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SYBA USB Floppy Disk Drive (External) NEC Chipset SY-USB-FDD
Customer Review: Excellent external/portable SYBA, 3.5 inch, 1.44 Mb USB floppy disc drive
Summary: 5 Stars
Like most people I bought this USB floppy disc drive in order to examine a bunch of my old 3.5 inch floppy discs to see what needed to be saved from the distant past. Well this new SYBA unit has performed flawlessly and was easy to install under Windows XP Home Edition too. Occasionally some of my old floppies have apparently failed however as Windows asks if the disc needs to be formatted and can't be read, but others have been opened and read just fine. The only drawbacks of this unit that I can see are the lack of a carrying case (that the directions say should come with it, but it didn't), but I think that I would rarely if ever travel with this drive (it can also be stored very easily in its small shipping box as well). Also, as previously noted by others the available cord that connects from the drive to the computer is somewhat short (only ~17" long), but for most modern latops this shouldn't be a problem and my desktop has a USB adaptor on the front so it is not an issue at all for me.
