Selected User Reviews For 3m Ds-dd 10 Diskettes 5 1/4"
None were opened, all were in good working order. The device is currently on an AT&T network I have a TPC The price was well worth it.
To get them to work, I had to format them several times in a row. The disk on which the magnet wasn't working wouldn't work after regular formatting, so I stuck it with the magnet on both sides, then I formatted it like usual and it worked This is my first time ordering disks, and I'm very pleased!.
As far as I can tell, I have not had any problems with the diskettes. No formatting issues or problems with reading and writing. Although they are cheaper on other sites, generic diskettes will work for a number of years (I have some that are more than 30 years old that seem to still function.
According to the description, the item has arrived. A new set of DS/DD floppies in the original box. I found the box to be clean and in good shape after it had been opened.
As far as I know, the IBM 5150 has not had any problems with these. On July 18, 2019, this item was purchased.
We had problems with some of the disks As I understand it, they are likely either more than thirty years old or have recently become so.
The disks were enclosed in an envelope to prevent them from shifting. There were mostly no problems with disks.
