Summary: Now you can back up your files
Review: I'm a real Imac fan, but I hesitated to buy one because it had no floppy drive. Even though I can store some information on an "internet hard drive", it's a lot better to have it on a floppy disk, easier to retrieve, and safer. Now, with the uDrive, storing those small but important files is possible. In addition to this, it is compatible with all USB ports for the Mac, very easy to install, and it even looks great! I happen to own a blueberry Imac, but if you own another flavor, you can order a set of different color covers for it. Definitely, this I love this product, it has really worked for me, and the price is ok.

Summary: good to have
Review: iMac's do not come with floppy drives, so if you want to use floppies with your iMac you will need to buy a floppy drive. This alows you to use your old disks on your new computer. You may need to move files from your old computer to your new one, and this can be cheaper than buying networking equipment. You really do need a floppy drive, and this one is a good choice. You can hook it up in seconds and be useing floppies again in no time. It's simple and easy to use.

Summary: Floppy drive... what's that?
Review: In our current modern age of tiny computers with immense space and incredible speeds, 3x5 floppy's were kind of left in the dust.Although I was surprised to see that there was no floppy drive in my iMAC. I do use my uDrive occasionally to transfer small files or documents, maybe even pictures. but now with cd-r's, zip, jaz, tape, and superdisk drives holding anywhere from 100mb-14gb, 1.44 megabytes is not very useful. the only reason it is so popular is because besides the internet, it is the only common platform for people to transfer data because everyone has one. also, since a floppy holds so little, i can't tell any difference between the speed of the old internal floppy and this usb one. but hey, i figure at least i have some way transfer files with other people and as long as i get one, it may as well be usb and match my computer to look cool! so if you have an iMac, this is always a good thing to have, but if you already have a floppy and you just want to upgrade to usb or get a matching one, i suggest keeping it and getting something useful like a cd-r or a superdisk.

Summary: My uDrive Review
Review: This disc drive is one of the best that i have ever used before. It is very "high tech", and high quality, but for a very reasnoble price. It also looks better than the other plain old white drives. I am very pleased with it.

Summary: Poor drivers + weak hardware = worst USB device I have used
Review: We have tons of these drives, as they were the only ones originally available. Unfortunately we have nothing but troubles with them. They constantly stop working and the drivers do not make these drives as easy to use as a normal floppy. Thankfully the poor product's problems are (usually) easily solved. Every time you use the floppy you have to uplug it from the USB connection, wait, then re-plug it in. This seems to reset it and allows it to work for another 5 minutes. I would not reccomend this drive at all. On top of all of this, this is the ugliest contraption I have seen! It is HUGE and heavy for just a simple floppy drive. We now use VST's USB drive and have had much better luck with it. This drive is small, light, and seems to be much more robust.
