Looking for a good USB floppy drive, any recommendations?

I have a synthesizer (an Ensoniq VFX-SD, to be precise) that uses floppies with a logical format completely incompatible with all IBM formatted disks. I hear that many FDDs, especially modern USB ones, do not support proper variation in the logical format, instead assuming that all floppies inserted are 1.44 MB. At the same time, my only option is a USB floppy drive since I have a laptop. It also needs to be reliable, not something that'll crap out in a year.

Anything capable of interacting with a C64 3.5" floppy will work, as it is the same logical format based on what I read.
