What I actually got was 17 blue, 17 red, 14 black, one green, and one yellow. I pretty much expected to get 10 each of the other five colors. I didn't get any orange disks, which isn't super surprising since that color isn't depicted in the photos either. It advertises that the disks will be black, yellow, blue, orange, red and green. The color assortment I received was a bit lackluster, but I won't dock any stars for that since the product description doesn't make any real promises on that front. I have a commonly available USB floppy drive (BYTECC. They are older formats: SS DD (360 KB) and DS DD (760 KB). I think I got lucky, though, since none of the ones I received seem to have any physical damage. 1 I have some old 3.5' floppies I would like to get the data off of. Amazon's addition to the packaging was only a thin poly bag, which didn't help. A hard impact could easily crack the disks' plastic casing or dent/bend the metal shutters. It's just a box made of thick cardstock, and the only real benefit it has is that it keeps the disks together and nearly completely immobile inside. I had to withhold a star because the packaging for the bulk pack barely does anything to protect the disks during shipping. I haven't used all of them yet, but I spot checked several and none had any issues. At about a buck a disk for the 50-pack, this was a pretty good deal. High density was king for quite a long time, and they're the only 3.5" floppies you're likely to find on the cheap. If you need double density floppy disks these days, you typically have to pay a premium.
