Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!

Really happy with this drive. I have been using an Apple Super Drive for a long time and it finally died. I was advised that this would be a good replacement and it is a great replacement. So much faster than the old drive. I had no idea. No errors. Easy to set up too. Pretty much plug and play. Good price, too.

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.

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.

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

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

Works well and burns CDs great! Definitely would recommend

Working well for my needs. Couldn’t beat the price. If it lasts as long as my other asus products I will be happy and continue to purchase asus products.

Works great. Can copy/burn DVDs and CDs. The included software is iffy. Better ones online.

Transferred CD's in FLAC format to my laptop, no issues.

Works perfect would recommend it. Easy to install.

So glad to have found this at an affordable price. Now I can open up my older files, particularly photos, and save them so they can be easily accessible.

This works extremely well. Ive had no issues. I use it in a small group setting.

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.

Works great! Received it and immediately started burning music CDs. Its super quiet and really fast. Tramsferred it to another lap top and did the same thing, just plug and play. Great purchase

Bought it for running old computer games on a newer pc. Works perfect. No issues. Easy install out of box.

As optical discs go by the wayside, I'm deploying computers without optical drives. Inevitably, there will be a disc that needs read about once a month. In comes this product, works perfectly for what I need, we take it to the computer that needs it, plug it in, it reads immediately and is ready to use. Also, it comes with both a standard USB 3.0 connector AND a USB type C connector, which the computers have on the front. Makes it easy for users to not have to line up the connector, as USB-c is ambidextrous. Drive is also quiet, too. Highly recommended.

ASUS ZenDrive external 8X USB 2.0 drive is plug and play to install on PC. It supports audio CD, video CD, DVD+/-RW, DVD-ROM (SL/DL), DVD-RAM, DVD video. USB type-C and type-A cables are included. It comes with a CD for bundled software such as Nero BackitUp. It also says it supports Mac OS X 10.6 and above. So far I have not encountered any issues with the Drive and the 8X speed is good.

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.

My new gaming machine came without a DVD player so I purchased the ASUS. Glad I did. Good value, true plug and play, and lightning fast.
