Excellent Work Saver 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 autom...

Great Value If your one of those people who need a floppy drive but got a new computer that no longer comes with a floppy drive this drive should be it. Just plug it in to your Mac and your ready to use it. The price cannot be matched either, I looked around my local electronics, office, discount stores and they could not match Amazons price theres were at least $10 - $15 more.

Easy to use 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!

Easy to use!! 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)!

Very simple and works great I didn't even have to install drivers (Windows), it just comes right up and works perfectly. Be aware that it's a "high power" USB device so a bus-powered USB port may not have enough power to support it.

No updates... ever from Lacie Lacie are getting the wrong end of the stick from me. The fact that this company refuses to update drivers for old hardware for new versions of an OS is simply a farce in this day and age.
Lacie refuse to develop drivers to support a new OS or even an update. Back in the days of NT they would not even bring out Win2k support for the systems. When XP arrived most of their hardware the year before was simply left to dry up with age.
In short if you buy Lacie then it will ...

LaCie 706018 USB Floppy Disk Drive My iMac G5 does not have a floppy drive. I needed a USB floppy drive so I could create documents on my G5 and use them in my older computer and to create floppies on my older computer or take existing files from my older computer and move them to my G5 for use. I selected the LaCie because of it's reputation.
