Excellent product for those who still have data on floppy discs.

Sometime old information needs to be accessed from Old computers. LaCie came through and this drive worked flawlessly…

I bought this LaCie to replace a broken drive at work. We have an older industrial control device at work that records data to floppy disks. None of the XP workstations have floppy disk drives since floppies are almost extinct. The LaCie is thin, externally powered through the USB port, well built and an aesthetically pleasing design. There are cheaper, no-name brand drives out there, but time is money and few extra bucks spent on the LaCie is money well spent.

The LaCie floppy drive has been used to move a lot of pictures in jpg format to our computer hard drive and it hasn’t had a problem. It’s compact, reliable and has taken care of our needs very well.
