Mitsumi D353G

The Mitsumi D353G is a slim 3.5-inch floppy disk drive commonly used in older notebook computers. It supports 1.44 MB floppy disks and features a direct-drive mechanism, eliminating the need for a belt. Its compact dimensions (approximately 102 mm x 102 mm x 13 mm) make it suitable for devices with limited space. The drive utilizes a standard 26-pin connector, though its placement may differ from other slimline drives, potentially complicating replacements.

Due to its unique size and design, finding a direct replacement can be challenging. Some users consider floppy drive emulators, such as the FlexiDriveS-SD-Slim-XS, as alternatives, though these can be costly.
