This work great in my Haas CNC machine

Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2024

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

The first thing I will tell you is this was absolutely Plug and Play for my Haas CNC Milling machine. I'm literally took it out of the box plugged it in mounted it up and it started working like a champ. Even worked with the old brackets. If you have an older CNC machine that still uses floppies 100% go out and buy several of these and put them on your shelf. They're a great price point and they work like a champ.
If you need a decent manual or don't already have an innate understanding of how this ancient technology works you might be in trouble and need to rely on the web for support. It does have a single slip sheet manual and is good for a minimal amount of troubleshooting but that's it. If you have a non-standard application then you might be in trouble or need some additional help because the manual absolutely sucks. As far as being a trouble-free install I give it 100% five stars.

Life saver for a Korg Trinity owner with shoddy, ancient floppy disks

Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2021

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

Easy to install. I opened the bottom of the korg trinity and slid the floppy drive out. The GOTEK fits in perfectly into the slot, connects to power and ribbon cable easily, and works well out of the box with a 2GB+ usb key. You can format the disk by either pressing both buttons as you boot the korg, or by using their windows software. It's far superior to floppy disks, but there are a few minor drawbacks you should be aware of:

1) The windows software only formats 100 disk partitions, not 1000
2) Does not work well under linux, Linux can only mount disk 000, the remaining disk partitions are invisible as they're coded in some proprietary format that only the GOTEK windows software can read.
3) switching disks while using the korg doesn't always work easily. Sometimes I change disk numbers, re-press the screen, and the light shows like it's reading, but it just sits there with the list of the former disk's files. I have to round robin the disk number and try again, and again, and again, until it finally takes and mounts the disk I want. It can take anywhere from 1 to 6 tries. It's the most annoying bug in the device.

In spite of the few issues, this tool is infinitely superior to floppies and I'm extremely grateful it was made and sold. I'm considering writing some linux software to mount all 100 disks in linux if I can get my hands on the format spec.

works pretty well, but needs some work

Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2023

Color: GrayVerified Purchase

this item does not come with any software, so you have to download it from the manufacturer's site. to be perfectly honest, the software is pretty bad. however, once you get around that, and you update the firmware, and you change the display from 3-digit to OLED, and you install a rotary switch, it's a really good drive and easy to use. i can't imagine storing 1000 images on a USB stick, and then having to push buttons to address them all.

Into retro computing? Buy this!!

Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2020

Color: GrayVerified Purchase

Recently I've gotten very involved in retro computing. But in 2020, messing with tiny floppy disks is absolutely no fun. Bad sectors, dirty drives, it's just not a great experience.

Enter this thing.

It allows you to easily turn any old USB drive into 1000 floppy disks, and just push a button to swap between them. It works on any old PC or other devices that use floppy disks for storage (synths, etc).

Some notes about the default firmware that's on the device:

* The software to use the device is... interesting and a bit annoying.
* It's Windows only.
* It will only work with DOS and devices that support DOS.

With that said, it's trivial to flash a replacement firmware onto this device that turns it into an absolute POWERHOUSE (FlashFloppy, Google it). It just requires VERY minor soldering skills (my toddler could probably do it) and a USB-A to A cable like this: https://www.amazon.com/Rankie-Cable-Type-1-Pack-Feet/dp/B01KRO8D20/

With the replacement firmware you get:

* WAY easier to manage from basically anywhere, Mac, Linux, Windows, etc.
* Able to use it with other old devices like Amigas.
* Can easily replace the simple LCD with a full-featured OLED screen, again with MINOR soldering skills.

In all, a massive value for the money even if you just keep the stock firmware.

Works as advertised, but is fussy

Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2023

Color: GrayVerified Purchase

Getting images onto the USB stick was a bit fussy, I found that letting the GoTek format the USB stick was the easiest way to get it in a state I could transfer images to it. It would be a TREMENDOUS improvement if they added an OLED display that would show the volume name of each "disk", so you don't have to rely on more draconian means to keep track. It works, but is surprisingly just as slow as a normal floppy. The 1.44MB drives require the more advanced controller that can do 500Kbit/s, I can tell you that this does not come close to achieving that speed.

The fastest floppy drive I ever used was an old Toshiba 1.44MB drive back in the 90's, there was something magical about that drive and it transferred data very fast, faster than the typical 22KB/s.
