    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!

    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.

    Not as fast to start up as the built-in CDR in my old HP laptop, but it works very well otherwise. Everything's outboard now, since laptops don't include CDRs any longer.

    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.

    I found some old discs with pictures we wanted to retrieve. The ZenDrive was easy to set up and I was able to see and save the photos I wanted onto a stick. My daughter was able to use it to watch a DVD on her computer.

    Bought it to open a cd on my computer since no one has cd drives now. Installed without a hitch. Unfortunately I don’t really have a use for it now. Good thing it wasn’t very expensive.

    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.

    Excellent writer, quiet, and fast. Better than the other writers I have used. Plus, it works with Windows 11. For reading, I use only 1 USB-A connector, for writing I use both to ensure writing quality.
