Review on Iomega Superslim USB 2.0 8X DVD Writer: Powerful External Optical Drive 34427 by Ryan Fitch

I bought this to install software on my Dell Mini 9 and it worked like a charm right out of the box. It's thin, light and quiet. The best part was that Windows XP recognized it automatically, so all I had to do was plug it in. I have no idea how this affects battery life as I don't usually run on battery power but it does require 2 USB ports. turn it on The Dell Mini 9 only has 3 USB ports so keep that in mind if you need to leave it plugged in for a while. I had. Discs snap into a tray similar to most CD/DVD drives on standard laptops. The only way to improve it is to get it working with one USB port instead of two, but other than that it's a great drive. I don't think you get the best value for money in the portable category and I would heartily recommend it.
