    Didn't use it a lot, but so far so good. The CD player in my computer stopped working when a newer version of Win10 was installed. Techs said the newer version wasn't compatible with it. The Asus works with it.

    The ASUS ZenDrive is light weight and easy to transport. It is truly a plug and play item that worked correctly when plugged into the USB port. The drive is quiet and quick!

    DVD drive works great but requires 2 USB ports. I wish the website had made this more apparent as I would have preferred a drive that only needed one port.

    Bought this for backup and for viewing movies ... don't know when I'll actually use it, but the system (Windows 10) actually recognized it, so I guess I'm good to go.
