Need Recommendation on Ext. Floppy Disk Drive ..

Have been looking at Floppy Disk Readers for some 3.5 inch floppy disks which I un-earthed in storage ..

Can anyone suggest/recommend a specific brand ?

Walmart has a (I believe) brand called Sabrent, and of course the reviews are mixed ... in going thru boxes I found some 3.5 inch floppy disks with the director so I know what they are and would like to print some of the files for photo albums.

Anyone have a recommendation either on a brand or a place to buy ?

    Get the cheapest one you can find and use it to transfer the floppy disk stuff one time to digital media...like thumb drive, or hard disk.

    I did mine on a friend's old computer that still had a floppy drive.
