Package Includes: 1Pcs Review: Works for me! - I built a new i9 Windows 11 PC in an old ATX case and decided to keep the old floppy drive that was in there. Since my new Gigabyte MB has no connector for floppy drives, I decided to try this floppy to USB adapter. I read all of the reviews here, so the first thing I did upon receiving the item was secure the USB cord to the module to make sure there would be no added stress on the fragile glue-covered solder connections. I carefully plugged the board into my floppy drive, making sure it was not upside down or offset. Then I plugged the USB cord into an internal USB 3.2 Gen 1 port on the motherboard via a USB 3.0 to 19-pin MB adapter cable. My floppy drive was already powered from the power supply, so I did not use the short power cable that came with this adapter. Now I have Floppy Disk Drive A in Windows and it works as good it ever did 30 yeas ago. Be aware that if the floppy disk is not write-protected, any modern version of Windows will create the hidden System Volume Information directory on the floppy disk. If you don't want Windows to modify your disk, be sure to write-lock it before inserting it. I only wish I could change the drive letter, but this adapter adds the drive to Windows as the internal drive A, which cannot be mapped to a different letter. I would have preferred that the drive appear in Windows like any other USB drive, which can be mapped to any drive letter. That's not a big issue though. Overall I'm happy to be able to read my old floppies on my new PC now. Review: Works well, on slow side but what do you expect? - Installed this on my sleeper build, runs a little on the slow side but considering I'm using a floppy drive on a computer thats nearly 20 years older than the drive itself that is to be expected. The chip itself is a little on the flimsy side, but if you aren't stupid that shouldn't be an issue considering it will live in a steel box. One thing to note is the unit doesn't quite meet the voltage requirement to power on a drive, but its close enough to where it works. Like, the floppy drive will read and write, but its slower than if it were in a machine from the floppy disk era. That being said I'm mostly using this for very basic stuff so speed isn't an issue. 8.75/10, 5 stars overall. ## Features - Transform your USB port into a Floppy Drive interface with our Floppy Drive Connector, designed specifically for 1.44MB simulated floppy drives.

I have been working with older OS's (USB bootables & VirtualBox) and wanted it for boot disks. I have a USB external floppy, but this was partly nostalgic and the drive was from this old case. This adapter works well for that. Here is what I noted: 1) No instructions. A brief instruction card would have been good. I had hooked a connector from the power supply to the board before figuring out the jumper from the CCA was for providing power to the drive. 2) This adapter makes the drive stick back further into the case. The power connector made it longer yet. I had to bend the connector to keep the wire out of my cooling fan. Either a straight connector, or just hardwire the power jumper to the board would be better. Especially if you have a big processor fan that makes funny noises if a wire sticks in it. 3) The logic connector does not have a key. This is not unusual as some old ribbon cables also did not have it. The CCA is marked for pins numbers, so check your drive. 4) There is no lock for the logic connector. There are some through holes in the board that a small zip tie can be fed through to secure both the connector to the drive and tie up cables. 5) I have a PCIe USB card I had in an old machine that I moved to this new one. It has a USB connector at the back of the board that worked well for this adapter. Otherwise I would have had to route a USB extension cable outside the case, or see if there is an adapter available to one of the USB ports inside the case. 6) My old drive sits there and 'ticks' (searching) if there is no floppy disk in it. I suspect it may be my drive, so I'll just keep a blank disk in it rather than buying a new one. All told, this could be improved, but it does what I wanted. Hope this helps anyone interested in a little retro looking build. ## Frequently Bought Together - KOOBOOK 1Pcs 1.44MB 3.5" Floppy Drive Connector 34 PIN 34P to USB Cable Adapter PCB Board with Power Cable - StarTech.com 3.5" to 5.25" Front Bay Mounting Bracket w/ Mounting Screws (BRACKETFDBK),Black - StarTech.com 6in USB 2.0 A to USB 4 Pin to Motherboard Header Adapter F/F - USB cable - USB (F) to 4 pin USB 2.0 header (F) - USBMBADAPT --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/179996740-koobook-1pcs-1-44mb-3-5-floppy-drive-connector-34](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/179996740-koobook-1pcs-1-44mb-3-5-floppy-drive-connector-34) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
