Customer Ratings & Reviews

Since Apple stopped offering and supporting the super drive, I needed a working option. This is it. Works with IBM or Apple, so it’s got plenty of utility.

This drive is plug and play with Windows; I didn't open the included CD. It's very compact but I think care is needed to avoid damaging the drawer when open: it isn't very sturdy. It fit the need for ripping some old music CDs on a drive-less desktop.

I love this external disk drive to make my cds. It is a wonderful equipment.

Very good product: runs as advertised, no glitches...just plug-and-play. Like the low profile so I can lay on top of my desktop.

Very fast, reliable, easy to use USB DVD/CD drive!

I bought a new computer in November and in April when I wanted to do our taxes, I discovered the disk drive did not work. So, I went to the Best Buy website and ordered this unit. It worked wonderfully ! I had my taxes done in no time !! It even supplies two different hookup cables. This is very handy, otherwise you might run all around trying to find the right cable. Very satisfied with it.

I was looking for a quality product and found good reviews on the ASUS DVD USB 2.0 drive. It is a solid product and not flimsy like some of the other ones out there for sale. It works quickly and doesn't heat up a lot unless it is a lot of data.

A nice drive drive in a small, portable package. The addition of an extra USB A port in the included connector cable is nice for additional power. It is a little expensive for what it is, but it does seem to be well-made.

I am enjoy this purchase. It was easy to hookup and it does what I need it to do. Very happy with it. Highly recommend.

Easy installation and use. Price is reasonable. Good quality

Love this DVD/CD Drive Great to burn disks for the music we recorded of my father. Great speed! Easy to use!

New all-in-one didn't have optical drive. Found this one. Really small footprint (Thin). Easy set-up (computer found it immediately, loaded built-in drivrers). I haven't tried burning anything yet, but ASUS products are normally good quality, so it should work just fine.

Needed an external USB DVD to play movies since my new computer does not come with a built-in player. Have watched movies and it works well.

I bought this so that I could store my old CD and DVD content on an external hard drive. It was super easy to setup, connect and use. A full CDd took 3 or 4 minutes max and a full DVD took from as little as 7 min up to abut 20 depending on how much was o the DVD. In no time I had ripped 200 CDs and 150 DVDs to an external hard drive and was very pleased! I just popped them in and out at night while watching TV or during the day sitting by me at my desk. Very pleased!

I bought this in a pinch, when my computer's CD-ROM drive suddenly stopped working - A godsend for the work I do.

This works great I happy with my purchase. I definitely would recommend it.

My computer's internal drive quit working and I bought this hoping for the best. It works great, easy to use and I was burning back up files in no time. I also have an old DVD+R with pictures on it that nothing would read it. This did !! Very Happy with this purchase.

As computers continually become more technologically advanced it was assumed...assumed..that DVD RW would no loner be necessary. Well if that were the case why would they sell them? These are still important to store information outside of the computer proper. Sometimes you do not want to process certain programs without the change of acquiring a virus and this is just another step to keep us safe from those whose sole purpose is to sow chaos. I needed it, I used it and still do. The computer companies need to realize that older tech does not mean non essential tech. Many individuals do not want to email lengthy programs and details and DVD's are still the go to even above and beyond thumb drives. It takes very little programming and space to add these features back in Thank You

Simple USB DVD writer. One of those things you have to buy now that laptops don't come with optical drives anymore. Don't like the trend, since it forces you to either buy more hardware, or stream you videos and music. This thing works fine, it does what I need. Like reviewing a glass of water. It was wet, and slaked my thirst. I could add some exclamation points if that would help you understand my delight at this product!!! Goody! Enough. Decent price, works well.

My new computer didn't have an optical drive. Since I have terrible internet and it was now tax time, I needed to use a tax software disk instead of online preparation. I also have a great many photos that are on CD's that I needed to transfer, so this was a good option, with not a great expense. It was a lot slower to use than the built-in drives that I have had in the past and actually took multiple attempts to get the software loaded completely. It is a nice, slim size so it doesn't take up much room to use. It would have been really helpful if this drive came with a little case of some sort to store it in, along with the cords. As it is, I have to put everything back in the much bigger box it came in when I'm not using the device.
