This drive worked fine on my computer, which uses Vista Home, but I haven't tried it on the Windows 8 computer at work.

I wish I could help specifically. I use this on a piece of woodworking machinery. I would say, if you're replacing an existing floppy drive, it should work. It has a connection for a Molex power plug and floppy ribbon cable. Hope this helps a little!

Had the same experience. The unit does not work as expected. Using OS Windows XP Prof, the unit will not open the files on the floppy, and instead suggest you format the disk. This action is a no-no, since it will destroy all files in the floppy. The unit was set aside as useless.

I would guess yes it does, I know it works with embroidery machines. Check out your current drive if it's standard power plug and data cable for floppy, this should work. Te biggest problem is formatting your thumb drive properly, I have some links to the software if you need it.

Yes it will work just fine. I just tried it on my old Windows XP machine. After you plug it in, give it a couple of minutes to download the driver and recognize the drive.

If your laptop has a usb port it will recognize it and name the floppy drive. Just open the drive with a double click, view files and transfer what you like.

It should. I'm running Windows XP and used this drive to read some CAD files that I drew years ago. Opened the files fine. I thought it worked really well. Good luck

Sorry I only run windows 7. The floppy disk drive on windows 7 is a plug and play.

I have windows 7, and mine worked just fine. I'm not sure about windows 8 though. Hope that helps!

I would have to answer, that as long as the data (pictures) on your disks are intact -- can be read and displayed from the diskettes they are stored on -- then yes. You didn't say, so I'll assume, that you have a Windows PC (Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8). This floppy drive should work just fine.

Yes it will write as well as read files. In windows 7 I have to open the files folder, select computer in the left side panel to get floppy drive A to show up in the right side panel.

Yep; does everything a floppy drive is supposed to do. The only potential downside I have experienced is that it will only run when plugged into USB 2.0 or better.

No, this is only for reading Zip Disks. You need to get a drive made to read the 3.5" disks. They do exist. I have a LaCie Floppy Disk Drive which connects with USB. It is Plug and Play. It is compatible with PCs going back as far as Windows 98 and up to XP, but probably also 7. Also Macs from 8.6 to 10.1 and above. Hope this info helps. Here is a link for one: http://www.amazon.com/LaCie-706018-Floppy-Disk-Drive/dp/B00006B938/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t

The SABRENT External USB 1.44 MB Floppy Disk Drive I purchased did read all the data on several of my 3.5-inch floppy disks so that I could save the data to the hard drive on my laptop and to USB thumb-drives, so the external USB 1.44 MB disk drive should be able to read your photos to save them to CDs.

Dear friend,thanks for your interest in our itemPlease check your keyboard's driver to see if it's with the below specification:1) With 34-pin interface & 5vDC power plug;2) With 1.44MB capacity(some disk is with only 720KB, then it should not be compatible).If your driver with the same specification as above, then you should be able to replace it with our floppy disk driver.

I had problems with it on both win 7 and 8. Tur ns out the firmware in it is not that great. If you use a newer hdd it should work but older hdd do not work. The one I had a probkem with was a toshiba 80 gig.

I have a Toshiba Canvio Basics 750 GB portable hard drive and had to unplug from Sabrent hub because it was inconsistent. I have plugged it into PC to see if it's the Tosh or the hub.
