I am using Windows 7 Pro (64-bit) and the drive works out of the box for me. The box also included a mini-cd which I did not need to use. I just plugged the drive into a USB slot and Win7 instantly recognized it and found a driver.However, as my heading says, this drive will only read High Density 1.44mb diskettes (2HD). I also have some older 2DD diskettes (double sided 720k) which this drive will not read, but rather prompt me to 'format a blank diskette.' (TIP: don't do this! You'll lose your data) Unsure if this was Windows 7 or the drive itself, I plugged this into an older Windows XP pc (which instantly recognized it too) and it still would not read any of my lower density diskettes (2DD). It actually says this in the product description, although in a convoluted way for those unaware of the two different types of 3.5" floppies. It will ONLY read your 1.44mb (2HD) diskettes.How do you tell what sort of floppy diskette you have? If you have name brand floppies, the stamp on the metal slide cover should tell you if your disk is 2HD or 2DD. That said, I have some diskettes that have no branding or marking on them whatsoever, so it's just trial and error. Some of these work (the 2HD ones) and some don't (which I assume are 2DD).Bear in mind, this technology was pre "plug and play" so even though Windows recognizes the drive and it's ready to use, it won't be active until you pop in a diskette and click the "3.5 A Drive" from the drive list in My Computer. Then you wait and wait and wait for it to access the data (which is so slow compared to today's tech!). Once you remove that diskette (when the drive access light is off), you need to refresh the contents of a new diskette by again clicking the "3.5 A Drive" from the drive list. Rinse and repeat.I purchased this drive from "FromWarehouse" vendor. It was as advertised and works great for me with Windows 7 Pro. I am able to retrieve old photos and documents from all my 2HD floppy diskettes, but alas not my 2DD diskettes. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars INITIAL REVIEW + UPDATES *by I***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2014* I have Windows 7 and my disks are 2HD. This External works for me. It's not as fast as the A drive that comes with your computer but at least it does work. I'm happy because the first External I bought (Sabrent External USB 1.44 MB 2x Floppy Disk Drive (FL-UDRV) Black) showed what was on the floppy but could not open any files so I returned it and bought this one.I'm sorry some rated it low stars because it rates 5 with me.UPDATE 7/25/14: I rated this a 5 in my first review because it worked fine. As time has passed it has come to my having to do some manipulating to get the drive to work because I keep getting a disk not formatted/request to format message.I handle that by unplugging the usb from my computer, plugging it back in and if that doesn't work I then take the disk out and reinsert it in the a drive. I have to do this a few times until eventually it works.UPDATE 7/27/14: Normally this unit sits unplugged on the tower, plugging it in only when I need it, pulling it out of the usb when I'm done. Tried something different and it made a difference. After using it yesterday I left it plugged in, even when I logged off. When I got on the computer later, and today as well and had to transfer files, it worked smoothly.UPDATE: 11/19/14: Time to buy a new one. Started getting the not formatted message on a disk I'd been using. Got frustrated, slammed it on the ground, it busted it up. Back to the drawing board. When it worked, it was great, toward the end it seems it ran out of gas and stopped working. Brought the rating down to 3 because it was a short term item for me. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Works perfectly with my 64-bit Win7 setup *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2013* Worked literally out of the box - Running Win7 64-bit. I did NOT use the mini-disc that came with it. Windows identified and installed the device within 30 seconds of me plugging it into my USB port.Put in a blank floppy - it recognized it as soon as I opened Windows Explorer. It even assigned A: to it automatically. Nice. I was able to write a Word file, exit, get back in, and open it without any trouble. I was able to erase it too. It looks nice, came with a short USB cord, and has an LED to let you know when it is reading/writing to the disc.I have a set of older Sony digital cameras that I still use (in my classroom) and this little device made it possible to keep them in service even after losing my older computer that had a floppy drive built in.Very satisfied with this purchase, especially for such a low price. --- ## 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.tn/products/952880-new-slim-external-3-5-1-44mb-usb-floppy-disk](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/952880-new-slim-external-3-5-1-44mb-usb-floppy-disk) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
