No. An internal floppy drive is connected into the motherboard. It cannot be disconnected from the mother board and function as an external device. However you can buy the external floppy drive and then plug it into a USB port on your computer.

If you want to have a floppy drive work externally, you need to buy one that is designed to work with USB connection to your computer.
