I bought this floppy drive because I have a new Mac G5 who doesn't have a floppy drive built in it.
The drive was very easy to install (at least on a Mac). You just have to plug the USB cable into your computer and wait fo the drive to appear on your Desktop. There was no need of CDs or downloads or any kind of installation. The only problem that I encountered was that It took a few minutes for the drive to appear in my computer. Every time I poped a floppy drive I had to wait exactly 1 minute for the disk to appear. And also when I opened a document inside my floppy it took forever for the document to open.
I don't know how fast are any other floppy drives out there, but I found this one extremly slow.
If you are going to buy this product just for transporting documents from one computer to another, maybe you should just use e-mails...
