5.0 out of 5 stars Does what it says... !, 3 Dec 2008
I also bought this to use with an eee PC - a 901 running Ubuntu-eee - and it works perfectly. I've set up the 901 so VLC starts automatically when a DVD is inserted, and all the DVDs I've tried play at full-screen with no stuttering or dropped frames. It also seems happy getting power from the USB port with no need to use the separate power supply that comes with it. The build quality is reasonable although not particularly rugged.

I would recommend this device for any laptop or netbook that doesn't have a built-in CD/DVD drive. Note that it reads and writes to CD, but is read-only with DVDs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mac/ powerbook compatability, 23 Dec 2008
By E. Watkins - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The customer service from this company was fantastic. When I received the initial drive it didn't work and I was concerned that it might be incompatible with my powerbook G4 however I phoned computer trading who were extreemly helpful and sent me a replacement drive the next day. This one works perfectly. I am very pleased with my new drive as it saves the cost and hassle of sending my computer off to get the internal dvd drive repaired.

A note for G4 powerbook users. The drive did not come up on my screen as an icon until I inserted a DVD and in order to insert the DVD it was necessary to use the mains adaptor cable. Once I had plugged drive into mains and inserted DVD it worked as normal

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent optical drive, 29 Jan 2009
By R. Benson (South West UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If like me you have a sub notebook (Lenovo Thinkpad x61s) without a CD drive then this little external DVD/CDRW drive is perfect. I needed to install a new operating system on the laptop and this drive was was just what I needed. It is a good size, nice and slim, so not much extra weight to carry around and works just from the supplied USB cable, though there is an A/C adapter supplied as well. the drive is much more robust than I was expecting and should last well in normal use, though I don't expect it will survive being dropped from a height! its nice and quiet which is good as you don't want lots of whizzing sounds when watching DVD's in fact the only thing you will need to do to watch DVD movies is download a DVD codec if you don't have a software DVD player like WinDVD already. It arrived very quickly after ordering and its excellent especially for only £30ish!
