Frustrating but it works
I needed to get data off some old floppy disks so I purchased this product. The first time I plugged it in, it took about 3 minutes for drivers to install and even then it did not work. I unplugged it and tried again several times and finally it started working. Another problem is that when changing floppy disks, the drive will not refresh. So for every new disk, the drive must be unplugged and then plugged in again - several times!
I would recommend this product for emergency use only.

Almost non-functional
Won't eject disks, won't read most disks (1 out of 10 for me), keeps asking to format disks, often won't stop trying to read even if there is no disk in the device.

Does not support Low Density Floppies
For this price I was shocked that my employee's reported they could not read their low density floppies. With further research I found other reviews where this was discovered as well.
Do not buy! There are other options on the market that provide you more compatibility for about 5$ more. Price is too high for such limited capabilities.
Thanks,

Need more time for use.
I've only used it one time.
Had some Errors but worked around them.
It was probably my fault. Not sure at this time.
I would probably given it 5 stars had I worked more with it. Please give me more time.

Floppy drive defective
My floppy disk drive failed on my computer HP Pavilion. Took device to friends computer Dell. Didn't work there either. Finally took it to a computer shop. It failed there as well. They were able to convert my floppy disk s onto a thumb drive. That worked. Need to return defective product.
