    Warning: Not Compatible With Surface Pro 3

    I sadly had to return this 2 times. It does not work with the Surface Pro 3 because it does not have it's own power source, Both that I had caused a power failure to the Surface Pro 3's USB hub and the discs got stuck inside. I had to use a pin to do an emergency eject. Both got hot and gave out a bad mechanical burning smell when this happened. I tried using a USB hub with it's own power source and still had the same results I haven't bought any thing else to replace it (them), but if I do, I will only purchase one's that have their own power plug. No one at Best Buy was aware of this issue before, because this DVD writer was recommended to me because of it's low price. I'm sure it would be fine with other devices, just not for the Surface Pro 3. I just ended up finding the software I needed to install over the web and downloaded.
