Price : Too low to display
This floppy disk drive was specifically developed for low power consumption.
This review is from : Dynex External USB Floppy Disk Drive DX-EF101 (1.44MB)
Fully Satisfied...works great . I recently bought an HP a1240n computer with Windows XP Media Center OS. I didn't notice when I purchased the computer that it didn't have a floppy drive, because I was more interested in the more advanced features. I purchased the Dynex External Floppy for the convenience of an external drive, and have been totally satisfied with everything but the price. The Best Buy price was nearly twice the price of a new one on eBay. Plug and Play with this OS worked as advertised.

Dynex External USB Floppy Disk Drive DX-EF101 (1.44MB) Reviews
USB Floppy Drive Users Please Read . There is more to be said.
This right here is the missing information.
Hi, I've been looking for something to back up those old school projects on and purchased this item..... Here's some old geekspeak for ya:
There is actually a distinction these drives (and old floppy disk drives both internal and external) make between "HIGH DENSITY DISKS" and "DOUBLE DENSITY DISKS". (HD floppies vs. DD floppies). On the box at Best Buy, for example, it says that this Dynex Drive works with HD floppy disks. That is, ONLY HD (high density) floppy disks!
DD "double density" disks would not read in this device.....
It would be nice if the Product Information of these items and reviews of these items, (in shopping here on amazon) included whether or not these items used HD disks, DD disks, or both.
I suppose DD floppies are really getting to be a thing of the past!
Otherwise, this item works perfectly well and instantly on current platforms! Up to a dual intel iMac platform, once again, using ONLY High Density floppy disks.
Thanks!

Plug and Play.. . Extremely easy to use..you need TWO USB ports..one for data and one for power..no AC adaptor needed. Must have for netbooks and as a spare for PCs. Dubs fast (6x-8x)

External USB floppy drive . No problems with installation, was recognized by Windows XP and driver installed by Windows with no problems. It is recognized as "a" and works as it should.
Works In DOS/Windows98SE Too . This USB floppy drive works in all of the environments I needed it for. This includes DOS/Windows 98SE. It also works when the install software is expecting drivers located on a floppy drive.
No Problems . Well I bought this item on Ebay and received a installation cd for Windows 98 (!) :-( I thought I was going to have to return it since the seller didn't write me back. After reading the reviews here I plugged it in and the drivers downloaded automatically & it works! :-) I wish the cord was much much longer, but I can live with it.
Dynex External USB Floppy Disk Drive DX-EF101 (1.44MB) . I was amazed at how quickly the product arrived. I used it immediately and many times since it arrived and it works perfectly. I am 100% satisfied with the product, the price and the service. I often order from Amazon because I trust them and I've never had a problem with an order or how the product functioned.
Cons Review
not as advertised . It is not Windows XP compatible until after you contact customer service! The device driver that came with mine was created 01/05/2001. (I purchased it 06/14/2005) When you try to install the driver it insists that it has to have Window ME or 98 to work and then shuts down due to a "Serious Error". Customer Service wanted to help me correct lines of programming, I opted to take it back to the store and get my money back rather than fix their mistakes and help them get rid of an outdated product.
Worthless in all respects . This device arrived in a plastic package that had ben torn open and crudely taped with clear packing tape, obviously returned as inop by a previous buyer. This delicate instrument was shipped unprotected in a USPS Priority envelope and was so badly damaged it could not be tested or used. Worthless. Useless. Trash. Do not purchase this device from this vendor.
Poor quality . Although reasonably priced, this external floppy drive is of poor quality and doesn't last long (2-3 months). I recommend spending more for a better product.
