    Worked fine for awhile. Then my Mac refused to recognize it. It's the chip in the new Macs. Not ASUS fault, it's Apple whose products I refuse to purchase because they force you to buy their updates.

    Very handy especially for those PCs and Notebooks that haven't a cd/DVD to play music or movies, not to mention installing new software. Simple to use right out of the box. A very good buy for the money.

    Good portable Write/Read CD drive. Very easy to take along on flights. Since most new laptops don't have built-in drives, this was a great, cheap add-on for all the old discs gathering dust.

    It works fine, powered by single USB port on a newer laptop. It comes with a breakout cable for external power too, but runs fine for me without it.

    Good low price optical drive /burner. I hammerhead really taken full advantage but it definitely comes in handy. My only grow is that it uses two USB ports to function,one for power and one for data?

    This is a great product to use when needing to download computer programs to your laptop. I have done this numerous times with no problems. Also great for looking at DVDs that have your data stored on them.

    We got this because our new computer didn't come with a disc tray. And my husband wanted to play old Star Wars games from disc's. This was exactly what we needed at a good price.

    This comes in handy since most of the NEW laptops omit the CD Writer/ROM now but cost even more. Im glad they make these external ones so I have the option again.

    I bought this because my new laptop doesn't have a CD/DVD drive in it. This worked like a charm. Simply plug and play and you're good to go. It also came with some CD burning software. I haven't used it, but it looked pretty easy to use.
