I plugged it in, and within seconds I was opening files I hadn’t seen in decades. Smooth, quiet, and surprisingly fast for a floppy reader. I really appreciate that it includes both USB‑A and USB‑C, so it works with everything. If you’ve got old disks lying around, this is the perfect tool to bring them back to life. Review: Please note! - I bought one of these to help digitize my dad's old floppy disks. My first device was defective (I think possibly due to user error) but the company sent me a new one and it worked flawlessly. You can't find it like a regular drive, you have to go to Devices and Printers area. A few things to note: 1. DO NOT USE THIS WITH A MAC. 2. DO NOT PLUG IN BEFORE PUTTING A FLOPPY INTO THE DRIVE. I believe either of these can damage the device. 5 Stars for great support and a great device (as long as you know how to handle it) ## Features - 3 1/2 Floppy Disk Reader: As most modern laptops and desktop computers no longer come equipped with internal floppy disk drive for reading floppy diskettes, this 3.5 inch external USB floppy disk drive is an excellent solution to reading and writing your old floppy disks as easy as a built-in floppy disc reader. Retrieve Your Memories, for all the people that grew up with floppy disks, this is a return to the past. - Plug and Play Floppy Disc Reader: Just insert the floppy disk into the drive, then plug the USB type A/C connector to your computer and it will be automatically detected.

In Windows 11/10 systems, there has many show/hide options in File Explorer, so after opening "Windows File Explorer," you may not see the drive icon named "Floppy Disk Drive (A:)". Please open "Devices and Printers," right-click on the drive icon named "TEACV0.0" under "Devices," hover the cursor over "Browse Files," and then click on "Floppy Disk Drive (A:)," then you will see the contents of your disks - Reminder: Not all of your disks can be read, which is due to their age, not the drive. Floppy disks were produced in the 1980s and 1990s and have a history of 30 to 40 years. Due to long storage times, some floppy disks may be corrupted, mouldy or dusty, so some of your floppy disks may not be successfully opened by our floppy disk drive, or the drive may initially be able to open some floppy disks but stop working due to dust on the disks. Therefore, please carefully check the status of the floppy disk before reading to avoid the drive stopping working due to floppy disk issues. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00RXEWOAA | | Additional Features | Dust Resistant | | Best Sellers Rank | #1 in Floppy & Tape Drives | | Brand | Chuanganzhuo | | Built-In Media | 1 x Floppy Disk Reader, 1x USB to USB C Adapter, 1 x Welcome Guide | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 1.44 | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Laptop | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Customer Package Type | Standard packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 12,557 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 12 Megabytes Per Second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 1.44 MB | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | Form Factor | 3.5-inch, Portable | | Hard Disk Description | Floppy Disk Reader | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 3.5 Inches | | Hard Disk Interface | FDD | | Hard Disk Rotational Speed | 1.44 RPM | | Hard-Drive Size | 1.44 MB | | Hardware Connectivity | USB | | Hardware Platform | PC | | Installation Type | External Hard Drive | | Item Dimensions L x W x Thickness | 5.46"L x 3.9"W x 0.78"Th | | Item Weight | 9.03 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Chuanganzhuo | | Media Speed | 12 megabytes_per_second | | Mfr Part Number | CAZED-006 | | Model Name | CAZED-006 | | Model Number | CAZED-006 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Read Speed | 12 Megabytes Per Second | | Special Feature | Dust Resistant | | Specific Uses For Product | Business | | UPC | 635721970297 889269574213 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 2 Year Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Chuanganzhuo - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop, Laptop - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Digital Storage Capacity:** 1.44 MB - **Hard Disk Description:** Floppy Disk Reader - **Hard Disk Form Factor:** 3.5 Inches - **Hard Disk Interface:** FDD - **Installation Type:** External Hard Drive - **Special Feature:** Dust Resistant ## Images ![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 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61MD-9kO3KL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: It does not read floppy disk, why?** A: Maybe your drive cannot be used for a period of time after delivery or still see the content of the frist disks if your floppy disks are too old or the floppy disks get dust on it.

It's software problem,not the drive. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome little device *by S***E on May 31, 2026* Great little device — saved my old memories This floppy drive worked like a charm.
