Diskettes, also known as floppy disks or floppies, are a fairly old fashioned data storage medium. The advantage of using floppies is that most computers have a floppy drive, however, storage capacity is very limited with only 1.4 MB for the most commonly used 3.5" floppies and floppy disks can be easily damaged by dust in the drive.
If your PC or notebook does not have a 3.5” floppy drive but you want to read or write to and from diskettes, the simple solution is this USB floppy drive. The USB floppy drive is connected to the USB port on your PC or notebook.
- Read floppy disks on your Notebook via USB. - USB 1.1 compatible. - Plug and Play.
