Customer Ratings & Reviews

Absolutely essential, since they stopped including a writeable Drive on your lap top!!! This one works well and is a great value for the price. Small enough to take with you when you travel!! I took it to Europe and it worked fine with the Danish voltage.

Easy to use. Handy since my laptop didnt have a disc drive.

This worked just at it should. Packaged well and well built.

Bought this external drive for my asus gaming laptop. Works flawless no skips or drive not found. Comes with multiple plug in cords for laptop. Also comes with software on a cd for burning. Good external drive for the price. Recommend to all.

Easy set up. Got it for a new desktop that doesn't have a DVD.

Seems quite adequate for my needs. It's lightweight and quite portable. It could be faster. I haven't used it a lot because there's really not a lot of call for a CD reader and writers anymore. The rack seems to be a little flimsy but it works well and probably shouldn't be beaten on any how. So if you are a heavy-handed goon you should pass this one up

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.

This product works better than I thought it would!

Not many uses for CD-ROMs these days. Most computers these days don’t come with one. Every once in a while there is a need for one though. Having an external drive is nice. It’s a very quiet drive. Read speeds are as described. Works great!

This is a great device for burning CDs or playing them. Also it is plug and play so the software of your choice can be used.

Nice small external drive. Runs smooth and is quite. Easy to install with just two connections. One to a computer and the other to an electrical outlet.

I have a laptop that cannot play dvd and this gadget here has been a life saver. It works really well and it really helped with my presentation on our Zoom training. I really recommend this.

Great little external dvd/cd drive. Plays cds well without a lot of noise. Haven't tried to write cd yet. Includes both type connecter cords, Seems very light weight & fragile, but it does the job well.

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.

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.

Easy plug n play. It doesn't list it but works well with windows 11

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!

I've only used it once, but it worked. Best Buy really wanted me to write a review so here it is.

Sweet little drive. Two types USB cable provided. Discovered I needed an external drive when building new PC. New case doesn't have bays. :-( Anyway, nice device, works quietly and is rather speedy for reading but I haven't tried writing anything.

Love physical media because you own it. Quality content comes from this little gem.
