Super easy to set up! I have a laptop with Windows XP. All I did was unpack the box, plug it into my laptop and away I go! Trust me if I can do this, anyone can! Works great! I'm glad I don't have to go to the library and spend hours transfering all my pics and files to discs now!

No updates... ever from Lacie

Lacie are getting the wrong end of the stick from me. The fact that this company refuses to update drivers for old hardware for new versions of an OS is simply a farce in this day and age.

Lacie refuse to develop drivers to support a new OS or even an update. Back in the days of NT they would not even bring out Win2k support for the systems. When XP arrived most of their hardware the year before was simply left to dry up with age.

In short if you buy Lacie then it will only perform to your current system specs. Any changes to the OS and chances are you will be shelling out more doe for new hardware.

CON.

Excellent Work Saver

Recently I bought a computer which doesn't have a floppy drive at all. Considering the floppies full of info I collected over eight years, I was dismayed! So last Friday I came across this product - after considerable comparison - and ordered it. It cost only $25.34 at the time. I chose the super saver shipping - 5 to 9 days - ad here I have it today, Tuesday, already. Using Windows XP, I didn't need the installation CD. I just plugged the USB cord in and that was it. However, there was no automatic ikon on the desktop, so I thought it didn't work. I searched My Computer's Hardware listing and found my new floppy drive..dragged the ikon over onto the desktop, and all was well. It works! It's lightweight and looks like a slim cigarette case...it's fragile. You shouldn't shake it, and the humidity in the room may be a problem, but one can take precautions.
I'm very happy with the price, the fast service, and the way it works. Even at today's higher list price, it still is a steal.

I'm really relieved to know I can access all of my old floppies.
