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!

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 Fantastic, 14 Mar 2009
This for me a fantastic piece of kit.
As soon as it arrive, & out of the box, I plugged it into the USB port on my NC10 netbook, windows xp found it, installed it, & within seconds it was up & running.
I installed Nero burning from my own disc, I then made a test data disc, & everything works as smooth as you like, & all without external power, just the USB connection.
I can highly recommend this product, it is light, slim, very easy to setup, & use, it is also a nice price.

I was a little wary about ordering this drive due some of the less favourable reviews here. I'm glad I took the plunge anyway as this little unit is simplicity itself to use. Read more
