Cons: Could be quieter w/ less vibration

Pros: Thin and lightPowered by just the single USB cable needed to attach it to PC
Comment:
An inexpensive option for those who have no drive bays to fit an internal drive or need an option for a laptop w/o a drive. It works fast enough that I don't notice a difference between my old internal and this. Apparently it can plug directly into TVs, but have not tried this option.

I can't complaint about this product as the price is very low, it works well and that's the most important. If you need a more perfect product you have to pay more.

Cons: feels a little cheap with the plastic. usb case seems a tad short but is of decent quality. a long cable would be nicer to be able to place the drive anywhere.

Pros: small, compact and kinda stealthy
Comment:
great little drive, hides nicely on top of the black prodigy case.

Cons: Nothing apparent

Pros: Reads and writesLooks good
Comment:
What can I say? It does what it says it does. I hardly ever use DVDs anymore, so I only have it as a backup. It has worked so far and looks good. The detachable usb cable is either a pro or a con (over a stowaway cable)depending on how you look at it.
