    External DVD Drive

    I thought I could get use to having the external dvd drive with my new lap top but I've only used it once. Lack of time to play with it combined with I don't feel like pulling it out of the box to use it. Worked great the one time I did use it though.

    DVD attachment review

    Usable. Efficient, but not exciting. Bulky. Difficult to transport from one room to another. Attachment points unfasten easily and at very inconvenient times. Even the slightest juggling or movement causes it to become disconnected from computer. if you aren't in the habit of moving around, might be alright. But if you are on the move, not the product for you.

    Ommitted Prop65 warning for causing Cancer & more.

    The player itself works just fine. I was concerned by what looks like a USB 1.0/1.1 type A connector (white). Especially after seeing in the details online and on the box that a USB 2.0 cable is included (usually a black connector). The other thing that I don't see listed online is the Prop 65 warning that I saw at the bottom of the rear side of the box itself "WARNING: CANCER and REPRODUCTIVE HARM" This is crucial information that should be disclosed readily on the product page and in the specifications areas.

    My laptop didn’t have a dvd driver, and I needed one to put a antivirus software on my laptop. This works great for that. I will admit I only used it twice so far. I am very pleased with it.

    Drive works great. It's very thin and lightweight. Needed a way to read and write disc's since newer laptops don't have drives built in. This does the job.
