    The Asus R/W External DVD was precisely what I needed for a recently purchased small laptop I use for some trips and keeping track of the items I set up for my radio show. Lock, load, and let her rip. CD ready to go. I had a little trouble, (my own ignorance), in dealing with the DVD aspect, but after asking a friend w/more knowledge about such things, I'm off to the races!

    I've been using this external DVD/CD device for over a year now and I'm quite happy with its function. Even as an external unit, there is no lag in reading contents using a DVD as a data unit to read or write or watching a movie. The same with using it with CDs for data or listening.
