Works
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought for my Asus laptop works fine and its small
No, I would not recommend this to a friendPortable but with a compromise
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well but the fact that it requires 2 USB ports defeats its portability. It's especially annoying when my laptop has zero USB A ports so I need two dongles to get this to work. Reading of discs is pretty quiet, so that's nice.

||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First, the PC OS I wanted to use the device on is running Windows 11. The entire device felt like it would fall apart if handled too rough. Very flimsy. Loading and unloading DVD takes a very soft touch otherwise you can damage the device very easily while loading and unloading disks. Next was the cable used to attach it to the PC. Extremely short about 12 inches. Connected it to my desktop while my PC was on. System recognized it right away. Went to update drivers but according to the windows OS the best drivers were already loaded. Loaded a game with DVD's. Loaded ok. After that it went downhill. The problem started when the game that was just installed needed to have the PC restarted to complete the installation. If you leave the DVD drive on and attached to the PC during the restart process, it will corrupt the system file and will require a system restore. Luckily, I had just a system restore point before installing the DVD drive. DO NOT LEAVE ATTACHED TO THE PC WHEN STARTING OR RESTARTING YOUR PC. Otherwise, the disk drive works great for reading disks. Haven't tried to burn any CDs yet. Still within the 15 day return window. Kinda up in the air about returning it.

||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not much to say. This basic external drive got the job done. It plays DVD’s and old CD-ROM’s. Though, the build quality is a bit lower than what I had expected at this price point. The tray, when ejected, feels a bit fragile.
