    I thought Asus would be a good Brand, but was sorely disappointed when I opened the packaging. I was wanting to take it back but can't cuz of COVID going on!! I was so upset when I noticed it takes 2 USB ports just to hook it up! I would have never purchased it IF I had only known this. Stay away from this one and find one that takes only 1 USB port to run.

      Dear Valued Customer,

      I'm truly sorry to hear that you are unable to get the optical disk to work. This is not the kind of experience we want any of our customers to have. Did windows automatically install the driver? Are you getting a USB error when you insert drive? I'm happy to assist you, feel free to reach out to me at customerloyalty@asus.com and provide this link for reference. I'll do my best to provide a quick resolution to your case. Your feedback is important as it helps with improvements to ASUS Support channels.

    Worst piece of electronics I have ever bought. I put a music CD in and the drive loaded it. It does not recognize their is a disc loaded nor will it eject the disc. As I can longer return it, I will have to destroy the drive to get my CD back. Note to others: it requires 2 USB ports to run the drive at all. I will never purchase an ASUS product and I recommend no one else does either.

      Dear EngineerV,

      We certainly understand your disappointment with the product and the inconvenience this may have caused if the optical disc drive cannot detect a music CD.



      To resolve the issue, please verify if the computer meets the system requirements of the drive. If it does, check if the PC is running with the most current OS update and the latest chipset driver, and a media player application was installed. Also, please verify if the optical disc drive was connected properly from the computer to the drive's USB port.



      Should you need further assistance with the product, please email me at cl-rodel@asus.com and I will be more than happy to help. Or, call Product Support Hotline at: 1(888) 678-3688. Also, you can chat with an ASUS live support agent at http://bit.ly/AsusLiveChat.


      Thank you for choosing an ASUS product.
