I purchased this to use with my case floppy drive on my newer gaming rig and, after first testing, it recognizes the drive. I was unable to read a disc, but the drive has been sitting unused for about 16 years so I will just clean it and most likely it will work. The product is a little inconvenient using a standard USB-A connector instead of an internal USB 2.0 header, but that is easily remidied with a header to USB connector. The on board floppy power connector is a big help as most newer power supplies do not include this, however mine did so it was no problem either way. All in all, I would recommend this to someone who wants to use an internal floppy drive with a newer computer any day.

I'd been wishing there were a product like this off and on for a few years, so I could add an internal floppy drive to my computer via one of its USB headers. Enter this board. I had a Sony internal floppy drive sitting around that hadn't been used since last century. It was easy to connect it to this board, and connect the USB connector on the board to the StarTech USBMBADAPT USB header-to-USB-A adapter I had already bought. And it works! I've verified that I can transfer files back and forth via floppy disk between my Core i5 desktop, and my Pentium MMX laptop that has an internal floppy drive. I'd recommend this board if you have an old internal floppy drive by a good manufacturer, and a free 5.25" bay on your desktop.

One of these is all you need in order to convert an internal 3.5" floppy drive to an external one, and can also be used in tandem with a USB card to allow two floppy drives to be installed in a tower at the same time. I like this thing, and I've used it as a part for one of my older computers ever since I bought mine.

Product was simple to set up, even without instructions - just need to plug in male 34-pin in to your floppy drive, and then plug in power from female plug on the board. Includes the power cable. You will need a USB card or motherboard with an internal female USB port in your PC. Once everything was connected, floppy drive came right to life and installed to PC.

Device worked with my Mitsumi floppy disk drive on a Windows 7 pc, altho some old disks failed to read. So far no trouble getting pc to recognize drive. Haven't tried on other operating systems yet.
