Slick External Drive from Great Brand
This is a slick and sleek external DVD R/W drive. I haven't burned anything, but it reads well and is an excellent addition to my ASUS laptop workspace. The connectivity is good - I plug it into a C connector and it hums along. Easy to use, easy to store, and works well. ASUS is an excellent brand as many of the major names in the market have turned into consumer fare with lower performance and specs - you know the brands I will not name. Everyone knows those names. I went with this ASUS to match my great ASUS laptop (thankfully upgraded with SSD and RAM before the recent, incredible price jumps) after another major brand external drive stopped working for no reason. These DVD drives just don't like living too long - I have replaced internal ones back when laptops included them. You have to go external these days, and this ASUS is an excellent and economical choice.

Awesome 2
After upgrading my old laptop to a "new" ASUS laptop found I needed a disc drive to enable loading of my older CD/DVD software programs. I had thought about loading disc software onto thumb drives, but it turned out to be cheaper to buy the ASUS brand disc drive. It was very easy to install and operate the new ASUS disc drive. There are two sets of connection cables to perkup the power and speed of the disc drive. Just have decided through trial and error of which of the two cables works best for your project.

Amazing Device
I was looking for something inexpensive and able to get the job done since I haven't needed a drive for years! This device far exceeded my expectaions. Ease of use, plug and play (for a MAC OS no less) and seamless. I decided to use it to burn a dvd just for nostalgic reasons and it did not disappoint. I was truly impressed with this device. I would recommend purchashing this.
