Portable 3.5-inch floppy drive

This external USB 2.0 drive reads and writes 1.44 MB and 720 KB diskettes. It draws power from the USB port so no separate adapter is needed. The 40 cm cable reaches laptop or desktop ports easily. Driver installation is automatic on supported Windows and macOS versions.

Fits any USB-A port

The slim ABS enclosure measures 11.7 by 10.6 by 1.9 cm and weighs very little for mobile use. A single USB 2.0 connection supplies both data and the 500 mA operating current. No internal bay, screw mounting or extra cabling is required. The drive spins at 300 or 360 rpm depending on media density.

Ten drives in one pack

The bundle provides ten identical black units for equipping multiple workstations or archiving stations. Each drive includes its own 40 cm cable so every station is ready to use immediately. No software media or additional accessories are supplied. Buyers needing internal 3.5-inch drives or higher-capacity removable media cannot use this product.

Questions about this item

How fast can this USB 2.0 floppy drive sustain data transfer when writing a full 1.44 MB disk?

The drive writes at 500 Kbits per second in 1.44 MB mode, giving a practical ceiling well below the USB 2.0 bus limit.

Does the drive become noisy or hot when left running all day on a laptop USB port?

It draws 500 mA or less from the USB port with no external power brick, and the 300 rpm or 360 rpm spindle keeps acoustic and thermal output low.

What must my computer already have for this drive to work without extra drivers?

A standard USB Type-A port supplying 500 mA and any OS from Windows 98 SE through Windows 11 or macOS will recognise it automatically.
