This device reads my floppies just fine. The only complaint is that it is not entirely compatible with Windows 8. It will read the discs but it cannot format or write to them. It will once in a great while, but is a chore to get it to write to the discs. It also tends to read empty discs as full. Since I've transferred all of my stuff to a flash drive, I'm simply happy to have one of these in case I ever need to read a floppy again. Review: Dynex Floppy Drive - I had some old floppies that had info on them that I was curious about & some I really needed. This external drive is the finest floppy drive I've ever used. It is quick & works fast & correctly read floppies that are over 10 years old. It was also relatively inexpensive. ## Features - Portable Design: This Dynex external USB floppy disk drive has a compact 3.5-inch form factor that is easy to carry around. - High Speed Data Transfer: With a 50 Mbps write speed, you can quickly transfer files between your computer and the external drive. - Compatible with Desktop Computers: This external hard drive is designed to work with USB 1.1 and is compatible with most desktop computers. - 1.44 MB Storage Capacity: The Dynex external drive has a 1.44 MB mechanical hard disk that provides ample storage space for your files. - Easy Installation: Simply plug in the USB cable and install the drive on your computer.

This device reads my floppies just fine. The only complaint is that it is not entirely compatible with Windows 8. It will read the discs but it cannot format or write to them. It will once in a great while, but is a chore to get it to write to the discs. It also tends to read empty discs as full. Since I've transferred all of my stuff to a flash drive, I'm simply happy to have one of these in case I ever need to read a floppy again. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dynex Floppy Drive *by A***S on July 25, 2012* I had some old floppies that had info on them that I was curious about & some I really needed. This external drive is the finest floppy drive I've ever used. It is quick & works fast & correctly read floppies that are over 10 years old. It was also relatively inexpensive. ### ⭐⭐ Forget it if you are running Windows 7. *by R***O on September 24, 2012* I ordered this product because it was advertised to be compatible with WINDOWS 7. It came with an installation disc but it was not needed to load. I loaded my 'floppy disc' & my files were displayed. When I clicked on the files they FAILED to open. I tried another floppy. Same result. This product DOES NOT WORK IF YOU ARE RUNNING WINDOWS 7. This product is USELESS to me. So much for "truth in Advertising". ## Frequently Bought Together - Dynex External USB Floppy Disk Drive DX-EF101 (1.44MB) - Floppy Disk Reader, 3.5 inch 1.44mb External USB Type A/C Floppy Disk Drive for PC, Laptop and Desktop Compatible with Windows 11/10/8/7/2000/XP, Not Compatible With Mac and Chrome, Black - Verbatim DataLife High Density 3.5 inch Microdisks MF-2HD 10 Diskettes Per Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/12346519-dynex-external-usb-floppy-disk-drive-dx-ef101-1-44mb](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/12346519-dynex-external-usb-floppy-disk-drive-dx-ef101-1-44mb) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
