    Needed one for my laptop and wanted to transfer all my CDs to digital format and this did the job. I haven’t tried burning CDs with it yet. It’s a little flimsy so the build could’ve been better, but it’s only sitting on my desk and not being moved around much so it’s not a big deal.

    This was an easy install. My only negative on this product is i wish it would have had movie player software instead of just burning software.

    Easy to use external hard drive for any laptop that requires a disc drive for any reasons. So you simply unwrap it, insert USB into the laptop port, and wait for the download; if any before writing or burning CD or disc. Highly recommended for any customers or students looking for a great presentation on a disc!

    Bought a new pc and it did not have a cd drive. Needed to load some software that is only available via cd. Found this and have been happy with it. It does what it should. I have not tried to write any data, only read.

    For the last few years PCs don’t come with an internal disc drive. This one is well built and I’ve used it with zero problems. The connecting cord has 2 male USB connectors. If the main one for data transfer isn’t getting enough power from your computer port to drive it, just plug the second one into another port and the two connections will solve the problem.

    Good for what it does. The door tends to stick on anything around the opening which is why the downgrade. I found putting the player on something a bit smaller than it will remove the problem. Reads my cd's and DVD's without any problems. Whether those were commercial products or ones that I recorded. This is not the bluray version. The read speed is fast, and the player reads smudged or slightly dirty disks well. I had one disk with a deeper scratch that gave it problems, but other than that one time, it read anything I put into it.

    Great Drive -Utility Failure

    The drive performs well though I wish the cord was the USB specialty cord was longer, but why it didn't get 5 stars is the Power2Go utility that comes with it to rip a CD. The utility will not transfer any descriptive information on a CD, such as CD title, song title, artist name, etc., and you can only rip in one format, WMA. I know the company wants to sell me an upgrade but if that is all they offer for free, I am not going to gamble on an upgrade!

    It works like it should, the store representative was no high pressure baloney. I haven't tried to play a DVD back through my TV yet; but I suspect it will. I did not want to buy this online because they are real expensive, used or a Chinese knockoff.

    Nifty little peripheral that does what it should. My wife and I needed to upload some photos that were stored on a CD and we only had 2 laptops without CD-Drives. I ran out and bought this and we had the photos transferred to our computer in minutes! Definitely recommend.

    The ASUS - 24x Write/16x Rewrite/24x Read CD - 8x Write DVD External USB 2.0 DVD-Writer Drive - Black was so easy to install and works great with my new all-in-one desk top! When I don't need it, I can unplug it and put it away. When I need it, it is readily available!
