5.0 out of 5 starsDoes what it says... !
By silkstone on 3 Dec. 2008
Size: CD/CD-RW & DVD Player Only Verified Purchase
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 starsExcellent optical drive
By R. Benson on 29 Jan. 2009
Size: CD/CD-RW & DVD Player Only
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!

4.0 out of 5 starsGood value for money despite some drawbacks
By Dave on 7 Jun. 2009
Size: CD Player Only Verified Purchase
This CD-ROM is excellent value for money, though it has some drawbacks. I found it can't read a CD unless completely level, so if used with a laptop you'll need to sit at a desk. It makes a noticeable whirring noise so if you're listening to music you'd better play it loud. Apart from that it's fine and worth the money if you can live with the constraints mentioned above.

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent for notebooks
By POWELL on 6 Jun. 2009
Size: CD Player Only
I recently purchased a notebook to use in my travels as a travel journalist. After being told a load of rubbish in the high street chain stores as how to get the software on my new device it was clear I needed a portable cd rom drive. This was cheap, easy to plug in and performed the job perfecly, I was able to download word suite and norton anti virus

1.0 out of 5 starsIt just didn't work
By J. W. Hetherington on 30 Sept. 2009
Size: CD/CD-RW & DVD Player Only
If it had worked it would have been just what I was looking for. Neat, easy to carry, and could power directly off my Samsung notebook. It appeared to install just fine and I could see the drive in explorer. But ask it to read a disc and it just whirred a few times and then I waited for the "Error - your programme has stopped responding" I asked the 3rd party supplier to help but got no response. I contacted Amazon who very quickly asked me to wait while they contacted the 3rd party. Within two weeks Amazon refunded my money under their A-Z guarantee. HAPPINESS.

I now have a Samsung external USB drive. It installed perfectly and does the job. Even more Happiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsNice little drive
By mike-wsm on 13 Mar. 2009
Size: CD Player Only Verified Purchase
This is a nice little drive, compact, self-contained, just the one USB connection. Ideal for netbook users to load software from CD or to do a complete restore from CD ROM.

5.0 out of 5 starsReal value for money
By Mr. Ian Pardoe on 31 July 2009
Size: CD Player Only
Wife has a Dell netbook (mini 10) and needs an external CD drive. Ordered this one and it turns up really quickly.
Plugged it into the powered USB port and 20 seconds later its working fine. Operates really quickly and quietly and is very light i.e portable.
A quality item and fantastic value

4.0 out of 5 starsExternal Slim CD-ROM drive for my Akoya E1210
By G. Macpherson on 13 May 2009
Size: CD Player Only Verified Purchase
It does what it's supposed to do! It is slim and lightweight but feels strong in its metal case. It's good to look at and comes with USB and USB/power cables and software - although my Akoya didn't need it. It means that I can load new programs from a CD.
