Customer Reviews

Reviewed on 2008-07-25 Outstanding It not only works perfect, but is built to match my iMac. Great product.

Reviewed on 2008-07-02 LaCie floppy drive The LaCie floppy drive has been used to move a lot of pictures in jpg format to our computer hard drive and it hasn't had a problem. It's compact, reliable and has taken care of our needs very well.

Reviewed on 2008-04-29 Junk I wish there was a no-star option. I used this on a Mac PowerBook G4. The unit made some whirring noises -- and that was it. It was never recognized by my computer.

Reviewed on 2008-04-03 Works but has its downside Works with my Dell Latitude XP Laptop and I can read/write onto floppy disk but does not work with my Dell dockingstation nor can I boot properly with the floppy drive attached to my Laptop USB port. There's no reason why attaching the floppy drive to my dockingstation or laptop prior to boot-up should fail to work. LaCie needs to fix this.

Reviewed on 2008-03-31 Nice drive for the price Nice little drive: works well, good price, easy to use, looks nice - no complaints
