Utilitarian and delivered promptly

Probably a waste of money inasmuch as I am unable to read my old disks even by using the backward compatability feature of Windows. It may be ineptitude on my part. It is a functioning piece of hardware that works as advertised.

Works great for me.

Works great with Win 7 64 bit Ultimate for me. This drive is a must for Motherboards that don't have a floppy drive ribbon connection. Have you ever needed to update or flash your Bios to an updated version? I have had to do it 3X in 20 years of Building PC's to allow new CPU's to be used on Motherboards with a non compliant Bios for that CPU.

Didn't work at all

That's about it. I plugged it in to my Windows laptop. Driver installed. A: drive appeared. Ran forever, but couldn't read disks. Tried on a second computer with the same results. Support said it was defective and should be replaced. Not worth investing in return postage and time. I just ordered a different drive.

A new toy for my toolbox

Did exactly what I bought it for. I have some legacy disks I needed to image. DOS6.22, Win4Workgroups3.11 and some proprietary apps. Was able to image the floppies and store them on a flash drive. No issues with Win7 x64 and rawwrite. All plug&play as expected. Had some minor read issues, but the old laymans fix of banging the floppy on its side before re-reading gave a clean image with no errors.
