$19.99 USB External Floppy Drive Mac/PC

[CocoGdog]

There is a price mistake (intentional of course) from www.Smartdisk.com for USB External 3.5 Floppy Disk Drives. These are refurbished ones for $19.99 of the new ones that cost $49.99. One year warranty, you know the drill....

Not bad for me just want to have floppy for my IBM notebook. $6 shipping for two units

Total comes $46 for two, about price of one brand new USB floppy disk drive

Good drives, good deal, I bought one a couple months ago for my lappy, they shipped fast and they will allow booting form a floppy.

50% reduction on a lot of the stuff on their site now...

 

[pecel]

how much the shipping cost?

 

[DieselMan]

Got mine yesterday, very slim, works flawlessly (well, I only formatted 2 disks, and dragged about 1MB worth of files, hehe). Shipping was a bit over $6.00, and didn't increase much with 2 drives; had I know the drive looked this sleek, I would have got two the first time around (one as a spare).

One thing to note:

These USB drives do not support 800KB or 720KB diskettes on the Mac. I know that it's a silly thing, but some people still use these old floppies.

Also, check out there prices on Firewire and USB hard drives. You can get a 2Gig - 10Gig Firewire drive for $15.00 or less if you're looking for a portable drive that's cheaper than those USB Diskonkey things.
