Competitive price, Nice design and plug and play.

Purchased to go with my HP Mini 10... I was surprised when I opened the box that the usb power cable had 2 male ends - meaning it would require to usb ports that are very close together to power it. The 2 usb ports on my netbook are on either side! Thankfully it works just fine when only plugging into one usb port (played a dvd movie without issue). It's definitely handy having a portable dvd drive (that's so compact). This review was modfied by poster @ 10-06-09 01:20 PM

Easy to hook up. Used jumper to hook up to 2 usb ports, so as to have a fast write speed. Well worth the money.

It definitely does not work with USB 1.0. It tries to take the E: by default. If you already have a network disk E:, use Windows Disk Manager to assign a new disk label to this device. It cost me one day to figure them out. Hope it helps other buyers.

Purchased this to use with an Acer Netbook. This product worked great right out of the box. Love the slim design, very portable. Very quiet. Easy setup and installation. Does not require external power connection. Uses power from the computer via the USB connection. Uses 2 USB ports so you may need a USB hub if you have other USB devices in use.

I used this drive to replace the failed drive in my laptop (so I wouldn't have to take my laptop apart). Talk about plug & play, it was that simple, this is a great drive!

I got this for my aspire one netbook the color almost matches perfect accept the netbook is shiny finish and the dvd burner is mat finish paint I have watched a few dvd movies with my acer they are smooth with no drop  outshave also ripped a movie with dvd fab and the drive is a little loud but really no louder then a average laptop driveit is also slow ripping dual layer dvdsso far I have burned one data dvd at 8x with a cheap memorex disc and it passed data verification finereally wish you could run this on 1 usb port cause there is only 3 on the aspire one leaving you with only 1 free port The drive did seen to work ok when watching a movie with only 1 usb port but don't think you would be able to burn a disc with only one usb cable connectedas there would not be enough power to burn correctly.anyway this dvd burner does the job for installing programsand boots off cd or dvd fine for installing windows linux ect...

Bought this to replace two shot writers in my desktops and for my netbook. Runs great - burns fast and love th fact you do not have to lug an AC adapter.NCIX delivered this to me halfway across the country in 18 hours and for $59.00 - Wow!

I got this in sales for 60$ Its pretty fast, same as an internal burner. You can easily watch movies with it and the length of the usb wire is perfect. Highly recommended when your internal is dead and you cannot find a new one.
