Review: Pleasantly Surprised by Product - I was very surprised to even be able to purchase a Floppy Disk Drive, and this one was a very good price; works perfectly, literally plug and play. I suppose it is a little sluggish but the technology is old! I would honestly use this Seller again and recommend the product unreservedly. I also received it very quickly.
