Review on 🔥 Highly Reliable Asus 8X External Slim DVD+/-RW Drive SDRW-08D2S-U - Retail (Black) - Top Performance and Convenience by Carl Durant

I don't install an optical drive in my laptop because I prefer to have an extra battery in the module bay. From time to time I need an optical drive to install software or burn a disc. Instead of taking the optical drive out of my briefcase and swapping it out, I now use this one. It plugs into my port replicator, not USB, so it's always available. Withstands use with a very small footprint. Works great without installation or software (on Win7). When you insert a disc, it is held to prevent it from falling. Pros: small size, cheap, very easy installation, reliable. tip over) so you have to slide easily on the disc. It's easy to do once you get the hang of it.
