Where I live, there's a computer store that deals with a lot of Sabrent products. I've bought two 3.5 inch hard drive usb enclosures, and both of them failed within 3 months by suddenly not being able to supply enough power to the drive, even though they both use external wall power supplies and the drives were of the "green" eco friendly variety. I've also used usb video capture boxes (one worked, one didn't), and a usb hub which worked but supplied low power. I think it's safe to say their products are hit or miss, and buying one is like playing russian roulette.
but be careful most modern mainboards dont have the connector for floppys. And i dont know if you can add a floppy controller card. I've seen some, but many people say the floppy controller is one of these things you CANT add with cards. Dont know if that is really true
if you believe it or not, on some AMD AM3+ boards its still there. and the processors for these boards (FX series) are pretty inexpensive and give you good performance for their price.
TheRailroad99 - Some older SCSI expansion boards had an onboard floppy disk controller (usually with 2.88 MB support!) and it's possible that one of those might be used. To be utilized as a boot device, any such card would need an option ROM or a system BIOS that's "smart" enough to go looking for a floppy disk controller in the right I/O address ranges. If someone's making an expansion card that is just a floppy disk controller, that's news to me. As almost every low pin count I/O controller out there still contains floppy disk controller logic, I don't know why the motherboard makers don't just bring it out for anyone who might want to use it. It's not like it would cost much of anything. Same thing with legacy ports. Just put the pin headers on the board. It's cheap and there's certainly room for them.
I bought a no-name version of this product for use in a Dell Dimension E521. I've never actually installed it for a variety of reasons, but maybe I should have in order to test it? Oh well.
vwestlife Well if that's what you want to do.. dmesg will show if there is a usb enumeration issue etc which the desktop and windows won't which can come in useful.
I bought one of these a few years ago from my local computer dealer. I wound up taking it back because it had trouble reading some floppy discs and I also disliked the bright card reader LED that stays on all the time.
I guess this really doesn't surprise me, I've always been leary of these combo drives, and since the 2x speed external usb floppy drives are $15 on ebay now, these are probably not worth playing the game of "will it work"
Does this reader support SD-HC and SD-XC cards without a problem? Its nice to see a universal reader that hasn't dropped SM/xD support, even though both are obsolete.
one thing I have done on a few builds that have limited drive bays, or no 3.5 inch bay...I bought a 5.25 to 3.5 adapter that has a slim optical opening as well. That was able to accommodate a laptop style optical drive (I prefer the slot loading drives) and a card reader, and an existing 3.5 bay could be used for a floppy drive.
I got seek errors when I got this drive, I think the head is misaligned due to shipping. However now I don't have a floppy slot on my motherboard so I can only use it as a card reader.
If you should happen to come across a dirt cheap USB floppy drive - even one that's mechanically damaged - you might be able to cannibalise the USB-to-floppy board inside, and hook up a floppy drive in this manner?
I am searching for one of these, would so love to get my hand on one of these, I have a floppy drive + card reader but the card reader is old and doesn't support big SD cards... And to have an extra USB port on the front is definitely neat.
Sabrent products for me have been extremely hit or miss. their cables are great quality, but their Hard drive USB enclosures aren't super good and their laptop USB hub is super flimsy and mine broke within like a week because it's extremely easy to go past the stops because the plastic is cheap.
I had the same issue with an OEM card reader that came with a dell computer of mine. The light would come on but that's it. Like you the hour glass would show up briefly. So I took the SD card out and put it back in a couple of times and finally got it working.
Ya know I was thinking, some floppy drives do have an IDE connection. I think they are called super drives. Maybe you could hook one of those drives up using an IDE to USB adapter or IDE to SATA. =/
I enjoy your videos. I recently found in my closet a brand new JVC VHSC model GR-AX420 Camcorder with case used maybe twice. It even has the stickers on it. Charging the battery to see if it works. 4 tapes. Do you have any interest in this unit? Any idea what it might be worth? Thank you, Steve Gruenwald in South Carolina.
I'm not interested in VHS-C camcorders. Try looking it up on eBay (used the advanced search) to find out what recently sold ones have been selling for.
These Sabrent combo drives suck. I think it’s down to the circuit board. I had a working TEAC external USB floppy drive, same model as what’s in a Sabrent drive, and put it in the Sabrent drive for testing. I hooked it up, it wouldn’t get detected either. Fortunately, I was able to rebuild my TEAC drive, no harm no foul. I have since bought a combo drive from SIIG that I haven’t installed but I’m pretty sure will work. Also, these combo drives are getting expensive for some reason.
I currently have an internal SD card reader in my windows 10 desktop (doesnt have a floppy though) only problem is that windows 10 has decided that the reader itself is a "removable" device, and so i can addidently eject the reader itself and then i cant use it at all until i reboot the computer
I think that the memory stick actually goes in upside down and that is how he one in my old computer worked, just looking at the multi card reader and yes the Memory Stick does go in upside down.
My former PC had a CompactFlash drive and the other knick-knacks that you have there all built in, as well as 3 front USB readers; Windows 10 buggered that computer up, and my new computer has only an SDCard reader (which can read MicroSD with an adaptor, I presume) and it only has 2 USB slots up front.
Maybe a Mitsumi FA404M are more solid? Lacks a USB 2.0 plug, but have card readers above the floppy drive as you mentioned. I just bought a white one on eBay so will see how it Works.
They should make one of these that connects to the motherboard like a card reader and not by the floppy drive cable. I am looking to get a 3.5 floppy drive that connects by USB.
I have a floppy + card reader combo thing somewhere, but I opened it up to remove the USB cable because I wasn't planning to use it (and I misplaced it soon after) and the floppy drive in it doesn't work.
What is your main Desktop PC? Also, don't you use the 2008 MacBook everyday as well? Do you recommend the Panda antivirus? I'm using Avast right now and it isn't very good.
My daily-use computers are the "Wal-Mart Special" Compaq (now in the In-Win SFF case), the ThinkPad X60, and 2008 MacBook Pro. Panda's free antivirus is very lightweight and doesn't make you sign up for an account.
For me its a shame that the floppy part is not USB. As my puny modern computer does not have a floppy driver connector, or a bay that can take that ( but i was going to jerry rig it as an external USB device). Oh well, separate devices it is :(.
I have a 1.44MB floppy drive and some new old stock floppy disks, and i tried 3 and they worked fine then i formatted them using windows default format utility and now it fails to read them. Sometimes it reads new floppy disk and sometimes not. Could it be the floppy drive itself?
vwestlife Hmm, I actually tried out the 1byone 'gaming mouse' after use though the left click started to wear out, I'l have to watch your video on a the turntable if you have one.
now you can complain that the floopy drive doesn't work and maybe you would be lucky enought to get one that works completly PS: What OS do you use on daily basis?
Why didn't you tell the seller that the USB port / floppy drive isn't working and ask him for another one? I mean I repair stuff myself as well, but when you buy something it's supposed to work the way it's advertised and it's the sellers responsibility to make that happen (or did it say "DIY repair kit - No tools needed" in the listing haha)
At 11:36 you correctly referred to the SM/XD slot as the Smart Media slot. At 3:15 you referred to it as the Secure Media slot.I enjoy watching your videos even though I avoid using obsolete digital technology.
I have cameras that take both. SmartMedia was an early thin formfactor card that lost out to CF cards, Olympus and Toshiba were the biggest backers. xD Picture Card was a NIH creation of Olympus from 2003-04ish that didn't go anywhere. By then the industry settled on CF and SD cards.
I have an old Fujifilm digital camera from 2004 that only takes "xD Picture Cards". It came with a whopping 16 MB (yes, megabyte) card, and I was drooling over the 512 MB one that cost more than the camera itself. It could take 16 photos at 3 megapixels, so I mostly took photos in VGA, 122 of which could fit on that card. Those were the days.
sabrent? HA! better said shenzhen something ltd. ordered wholesale though alibaba with request for stamping the sabrent name and sold at 2-3 times the real price from the seller per unit plus shipping
Wow I didn't even know a thing called Memory Stick Pro Duo existed, definitely reminds me of the mess AMD made this year, the overpriced Radeon Pro Duo. You can get almost same performance for 2/3 the price by putting two Fury Nanos in CrossFire, heck even two Fury Xs in CrossFire can beat the Pro Duo for less money. NVidia GeForce GTX Titan X Pascal is the best single card performer you can get anyway.
Could be scavenged floppy drives, I have a few things from China before that had scavenged 16850 cells in them , seems china likes using used parts and putting them into new cases to sell them off as new.
Bear in mind that USB floppy drives are not 'real' floppy drives. The controller sits behind the USB connection and then entire thing appears as a USB mass storage device. This basically means that the logic in the drive can only support IBM PC formatted discs (I'm speaking of the low level formatting here). If you wish to try to use tools that can program the floppy controller to let you read other disc formats such as Atari ST discs you will be out of luck as to the OS the USB floppy looks like a flash drive. It also makes it difficult to use recovery tools to attempt to recover bad sectors as they can not communicate with the controller. I found it really difficult recovering files from a mates old discs with the USB drive I had. Got myself some unused new old stock sony internal drives which worked much better.
All that confirms is the emulated usb mass storage device provided by that particular drive supports mac discs. Its still emulated and I would be surprised if you can read and write an acorn disc when you plug it into a raspberry pi running Risc OS 5.
+dlarge6502 So a floppy drive that connects to the motherboard with a USB isn't the same as one that uses the 34 pin ribbon cable? Why does the cable make a difference?
I have the sneaking suspicion they use slimline floppy drives reclaimed from laptops for these things.
Wouldn't be surprised. Sabrent's a terrible company.
Wouldn't be surprised. Sabrent's a terrible company.
That's also how the USB floppy drives work. Mine is a 2000 TEAC drive.
"Would I recommend buying one? No, I'd recommend buying two!"
Lmaooo. I see what you did there.

I think it's safe to say their products are hit or miss, and buying one is like playing russian roulette.
The faulty/rusty drive makes me think the manufacturer is reusing old/used parts.
No one makes floppy parts anymore that's maybe why they refuse parts
This goes right on the list for things to get when I finally can afford a desktop computer.
but be careful most modern mainboards dont have the connector for floppys. And i dont know if you can add a floppy controller card. I've seen some, but many people say the floppy controller is one of these things you CANT add with cards. Dont know if that is really true
+TheRailroad99 I know. The legacy interfaces have all been removed on newer equipment.

If a piece of hardware doesn't pop up on the screen run dmesg to see what the kernel says about it.
I'd rather run rm -rf /
vwestlife Well if that's what you want to do.. dmesg will show if there is a usb enumeration issue etc which the desktop and windows won't which can come in useful.
Most likely the Memory Stick socket was broken, not anything relating to USB.
+vwestlife check what Gparted on Ubuntu shows when you put card inside?
I bought one of these a few years ago from my local computer dealer. I wound up taking it back because it had trouble reading some floppy discs and I also disliked the bright card reader LED that stays on all the time.

Does this reader support SD-HC and SD-XC cards without a problem? Its nice to see a universal reader that hasn't dropped SM/xD support, even though both are obsolete.
It does support SDHC, but I don't have any SDXC cards to test it with.
I didn't know they mixed floppy drives and card readers like this! :o)

Appears to be a trash company and one to avoid.
Actually, sabrent is a decent company. My friend has a good bit of stuff from them and it all works!
Holy shit I was looking for a review of this everywhere but I almost gave up, thanks!
I used to have a Sabrent card reader in my pc. It failed after a couple months.
I got seek errors when I got this drive, I think the head is misaligned due to shipping. However now I don't have a floppy slot on my motherboard so I can only use it as a card reader.

also for the floppy drive not working, i suggest realigning the heads in it, as iv had that problem before
There is no easy way to do so on such a small drive.
Great tech work VWest! Does anyone know a way of connecting an old school 3.5 floppy drive to a modern mobo?
Yes. I did a video about that.
Well i Should inform you that the item isn't available anymore
Thank you

I know it's an old vid, but I know those old Dells had semi-functional USB headers. Literally. Only one of the two ports has data.
you should do a review of the PNY USB 2.0 COMBO CARD READER ALL-IN-1 W/USB.
Why? I have no need for it.
I think that the memory stick actually goes in upside down and that is how he one in my old computer worked, just looking at the multi card reader and yes the Memory Stick does go in upside down.
In this one it goes right-side up.
My former PC had a CompactFlash drive and the other knick-knacks that you have there all built in, as well as 3 front USB readers; Windows 10 buggered that computer up, and my new computer has only an SDCard reader (which can read MicroSD with an adaptor, I presume) and it only has 2 USB slots up front.
windows suck at detecting defective or messed up usb drives,, i always use puppy linux to format them and put a new partition table
Maybe a Mitsumi FA404M are more solid? Lacks a USB 2.0 plug, but have card readers above the floppy drive as you mentioned. I just bought a white one on eBay so will see how it Works.
Pretty cool didn't know something like this existed...
Ay ay ay don't be copying no floppies now!

What is the dell model at 5:00 ? Also curious to know it's specs.
It's a Dell Slim Studio 540S and *its* specs are a Pentium Dual-Core processor with 4 GB of RAM and running Windows 7.
Can this read PKI certs from an ID card? I could use that to read my certs for the military.
I'm looking for a smart card reader...
The music on the floppy disk can you transfer it to a blank cd with this machine ????

VWestlife What did you to with the HP SignagePlayer? That seems like a good computer.
TruckSimz I use it for testing operating systems and other special purposes that I don't want to do on one of my main computers.
My favorite antivirus software is common sense. It takes zero system resources and it's free!
***** Well that's not really an option for me considering my brother uses the computer. He has broken 2 installations of Windows before :P
For me its a shame that the floppy part is not USB. As my puny modern computer does not have a floppy driver connector, or a bay that can take that ( but i was going to jerry rig it as an external USB device). Oh well, separate devices it is :(.
thats driver is very busy
the case you are using looks familiar, i think we used those cases at work, Inwin if i am not mistaken
Yes, I did a video about it.
And yes, that case is an In-Win.
Well, change the floppy drive to a USB floppy drive and this way this can be in any modern computer, too. 😉
I have a Nippon Labs front panel card reader which works well.
At 4:33 with the front panel off we see 2x 2 USB Ports, but then with the front panel on later, they're covered. what gives?
See my video about the In-Win BL631 case.
+vwestlife ahh awesome, thanks!
Why are loose conections always loose? hmmm... and the Bad connections are always the bad ones? WTF?
I have a 1.44MB floppy drive and some new old stock floppy disks, and i tried 3 and they worked fine then i formatted them using windows default format utility and now it fails to read them. Sometimes it reads new floppy disk and sometimes not. Could it be the floppy drive itself?
Maybe. Try cleaning the heads.
thanks.. i was looking into these.
im having immense trouble in finding one of these to order, if you know anywhere i can still order one please reply with a link :/
Dream floppy drive
that weird on mine its the floppy drive that doesnt work
Do you get these for review? Or do you make reviews for the things you buy? I use AMZ reviews for most things..
I bought this with my own money. The only product I've ever gotten for free in exhange for a review was the 1byone turntable.
vwestlife
Hmm, I actually tried out the 1byone 'gaming mouse' after use though the left click started to wear out, I'l have to watch your video on a the turntable if you have one.
now you can complain that the floopy drive doesn't work and maybe you would be lucky enought to get one that works completly

Windows XP, Windows 7, and Mac OS X.

Because it was quicker for me to swap parts and assemble one fully working drive, than wait for the seller to ship me yet another replacement drive.
vwestlife But then you would have ended up with another free unit :)
CF/MD Is very easily Bent so be careful when plugging it in
mega rad
i want this its really awesome
How many more obsolete features can we stuff into a 3.5 inch bay?
They could substitute the standard(ish) floppy drive with an LS120 Super Disk, which reads both types.
I only use SD but good with the other things
I have that same exact usb to sd /micros adapter
At 11:36 you correctly referred to the SM/XD slot as the Smart Media slot. At 3:15 you referred to it as the Secure Media slot.I enjoy watching your videos even though I avoid using obsolete digital technology.
SD stands for Secure Digital so I got them mixed up. But nobody uses SM anymore so it really doesn't matter.
I use a Smart Media card in my Olympus point and shoot camera.
looks usefull
never seen in my life sm/xd media . what 's that ?
I haven't either. Try looking it up on Wikipedia. ;-)
I have cameras that take both. SmartMedia was an early thin formfactor card that lost out to CF cards, Olympus and Toshiba were the biggest backers. xD Picture Card was a NIH creation of Olympus from 2003-04ish that didn't go anywhere. By then the industry settled on CF and SD cards.

It could take 16 photos at 3 megapixels, so I mostly took photos in VGA, 122 of which could fit on that card. Those were the days.

This is a PC, not a Mac.
Did you try it with a OLD Mac?
It wouldn't work. Mac use completely different interfaces.
Right. If they used the same interface, would you use it?
No, because Apple never made a computer with a standard 3.5" drive bay cutout on the front.

I've linked it on my UA-cam channel page for a long time.

There is no translation into chinese for "Quality control", that's a given... :\
Blah, it would be worth something if the entire thing was powered by USB, but considering it still needs the ancient 34pin parallel bus, I pass...
I don't know why it hasn't occurred to someone that they ought to do this. The logic clearly exists for USB floppy drives, after all!
Bear in mind that USB floppy drives are not 'real' floppy drives. The controller sits behind the USB connection and then entire thing appears as a USB mass storage device. This basically means that the logic in the drive can only support IBM PC formatted discs (I'm speaking of the low level formatting here).

+dlarge6502 That's not the case for all USB floppy drives. I have one that can read and write to both IBM and Macintosh-formatted floppy disks.

So a floppy drive that connects to the motherboard with a USB isn't the same as one that uses the 34 pin ribbon cable? Why does the cable make a difference?
