Michelle said, "Found an old floppy disk marked "pictures". They were of my kids and family (20 years ago!). What a fun trip down memory lane. We were able to save them. The floppy drive was plug and play - it couldn't have been easier. Thanks!"

Allen said, "Three years ago, I had to get a new computer, and I was no longer able to view the many floppy diskettes I had with photos of our young grandson, until I found your device on AMAZON. I am really enjoying going back down memory lane and viewing all those great shots that I thought were lost to me. I highly recommend this product."
