    This is my second DVD drive, only because I lost the first one in a flood. This connects easy and starts quickly without any fuss. Works great.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Works great, I needed it to use with my Turbo Tax CD on Windows 11 and everything worked well. It came with a disk to load the CD player information onto your computer, very easy setup.

    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.

    Since most competing devices, do not come with a DVD RW Drive, this particular one is easy to use. Just plug it in and you’re ready to go play your favorite movies. Since Microsoft doesn’t includes the CODEX to play DVD movies, download the open source VLC media player.

    The DVD drive has great functionality and portability. The included disc links an old driver page that is no longer active. If using windows 10 computer don't have to worry about installing any additional drivers.
