Can this read/write/reformat both 1.44mb and 720k Floppy Disks?

I have windows vista and onlydvd/cd drives. I used the external USB 1.44 to read disks I've had for years. It did the job I needed it to do. It did not read all the information on the disks as software has changed for the software I used back then.

All my disks were/are 1.44mb. The Sabrent was able to read, write and reformat the 1.44 disk. The curious behavior about the unit is that it does not respond immediately. It is almost as if it has to think what do I do next once it is given a command. My system is Vista and I have to use a slow usb port.

I think it can. The unit replaces the floppy drive. Better yet try a flash drive. &gt; Any way get the unit with the digital displays. I have the same unit pictured installed in a machine. use it to load programs into a cnc. Works fine.

The floppy included does not list win 7. I plugged it in the usb and Win 7 64n bit recognized it immediately. I was able to view photos as well as format disk. Slower than having it built into the machine, but don't know if that is just the nature of the beast... works fine so far. It is recognized a drive A: in the My Computer section

The SABRENT External USB 1.44 MB Floppy Disk Drive I purchased did read all the data on several of my 3.5-inch floppy disks so that I could save the data to the hard drive on my laptop and to USB thumb-drives, so the external USB 1.44 MB disk drive should be able to read your photos to save them to CDs.

The one I have is for 3.5", Data capacity is 720KB, 1.25MB, 1.44MB (Formatted). Have not found a drive for the 5.25" disk yet myself.

I now have several installed in cnc machines. work GREAT NOOO more floppys. Would recommend different gotec version that has a didital display on it . Twice the price but worth it. What is shown works very well. Have one working now. The digital display version is easier to format. ALSO GET 3GB STICKS > hold 999 floppys. Too large of a stick causes format difficulties. Good luck > these WORK.

I have only used the drive with 1.44 floppies so I can't say about the other floppies. It works really well with those. I am very pleased with this product.

Yes, you can reformat this card as NTFS. It will come shipped with exFAT formatting.

Yes. I used it to read all the files on my 1.44 MB diskettes and which I copied my hard drive. From there I loaded the files onto CDs. My computer with Windows 7 had no problem reading the 1.44 drive. I used it only to recover old files from 1.44 diskettes.

Yes--but you will need to use Disk Utility to reformat it. Takes just a couple of minutes.

It will read a flash drive as big as 8 GB. It will not read 16 or more disregarding the formatting of it.

I've been able to format every thumb drive smaller than 64GB to FATxx. Don't have any reason why this one would refuse the format.

Yes. It can be reformatted if not in the correct windows format. I only two formats I know are FAT-32 (Mac and pc) and Windows NT (Mac read and PC readwrite).

I don't know. I am unsure if the adapter I had works properly. Your system sees something, but if you reformat, you will lose the info on the drive.

I would have to answer, that as long as the data (pictures) on your disks are intact -- can be read and displayed from the diskettes they are stored on -- then yes. You didn't say, so I'll assume, that you have a Windows PC (Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8). This floppy drive should work just fine.

Yep; does everything a floppy drive is supposed to do. The only potential downside I have experienced is that it will only run when plugged into USB 2.0 or better.
