Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

Works well with my Alienware laptop to play some old games and cr create backup files for storage

Great buy! Simple to use, inexpensive, and good quality.

I use it for music everyone should have one especially if you like music and place to hold all you photos

Well made, solid unit. Incredibly low price for the quality you get! It also looks sharp and not cheap on your desk. Super portable also!

This works well. I bought a cheap knock-off from the big online store we all love to hate and I got 3 uses out of it for training presentations. I needed this in a pinch after the old one let me down in the middle of a presentation and I had to wing it. I've used this one since for 2 more and it works so much better. You can by a cheap brand but you get what you pay for and this is still a great value.

Work great with my ASUS computer. Compact, and it didn't take long to figure out the functions.

Easy to use, works as promised, and does not take up much space. Recommended.

Very easy to use and very quiet. It comes with two separate cords instead of a single split cord - one cord for USB and the second cord for USB-C connections. It is a little slow to open and shut the door tray but as far as it working- it pops up fairly quickly on the laptop and plays CDs DVD's and Software disks.

A great external CD/DVD drive to add to any computer or laptop that lacks one.

Works as advertised, no problem with it. Would recommend it to everyone.

My new computer doesn’t have an optical drive. This drive works great. Easy to plug into usb port and works perfectly to read my CDs and DVDs. You can also write and store data with this drive. It was on sale the day purchased and easy pickup at local Best Buy store.

The external ASUS-ZenDrive 8x Max DVD Write Speed External USB 2.0 DVD+RW CD/-RW Drive provides the write dvd rw/cd-drive that is missing from most of today's laptops. It's very lightweight and goes wherever my laptop goes. I can now play some of my older dvds and cds as well as record using the drive.

Works great with my lap top. Fast and very user friendly. I would recommend this item.
