## Features

- 🔵[Floppy Disk Reader]--With laptops and desktop computers no longer being equipped with an internal floppy drive to read floppy discs, this has caused a bit of a hassle for those of you who have stored important memories on floppy discs, but this 3.5" external USB floppy drive will help you solve this hassle by allowing you to read and write your floppy discs anywhere, anytime, just as easily as the internal floppy disc reader. For those of you who grew up with floppy discs, this is a throwback to the past.
- 🔵[Compact & Portable]--Our slim, lightweight design is ideal for on-the-go use(Only 0.59inch thick/0.6lb). This floppy drive reader is very lightweight and easy to carry around, whether you're at work, school, or on a trip, allowing you to view the contents of your floppy disks anytime, anywhere, such as: childhood photos, favourite poems, novel manuscripts, or favourite songs. It's also a great product for those who have saved a lot of great memories on their floppy disks.
- 🔵[Easy Plug & Play]--No additional driver program is required for this floppy drive. Simply plug it into your laptop or desktop pc, insert your floppy disks, and let our drive do the rest.
- 🔵[Broad Compatibility]--This floppy disk reader is compatible with most PCs, laptops and desktops running Windows 11/10/8.1/7/Vista/XP/2000 operating systems, but is not compatible with Mac operating systems. In Windows 11/10 systems, there are many show/hide options in File Explorer, so after opening "Windows File Explorer", you may not see the drive icon named "Floppy Disk Drive (A:)". Please open "Devices and Printers", right click on the drive icon named "TEACV0.0" under "Devices", move the cursor to "Browse Files" and then click on "Floppy Disk Drive (A:)", then you will see the contents of your disks.
- 🔵[NOTE]--Not all floppy disks are readable, this is a factor of age and has nothing to do with hard drives. Floppy disks are a product of the 1980s and 1990s and have been around for 30 to 40 years. Due to this long storage time, some disks may be damaged, mouldy or dusty, so our floppy drives may not be able to open some of your disks successfully, or the floppy drive may be able to open some disks quickly, but stop working due to dust on the disk. NOTE: Before reading a floppy, please check the status of the floppy to prevent the drive from stopping due to a floppy problem.

First use went well - plug & play, no driver to download, correctly read a dozen or so 'floppy' discs. Tried it again a few weeks later - it can't be recognized on any of my computers. On the third machine it didn't even power on. Just proves you can't always trust reviews.
