I ordered an Asus 8X DVD+/-RW Slim external drive to install Adobe Photoshop CS5 64-bit on my new Microsoft Surface Pro 2 for an obvious reason. I run this program on my large HP desktop, but since my Adobe software resides on the hard drive, I needed an external USB CD/DVD drive to boot it on my Surface Pro 2. Mine arrived this morning. I unpacked it, plugged it into an HP desktop (running Windows 8.1) first and it was recognized immediately. I put a CD in and it jumped out right away. After it worked I plugged it into my Microsoft Surface Pro 2, inserted the Adobe installer CD and the Photoshop install went perfectly from start to finish with no issues. No drivers to install or anything. A driver disk is included and I believe it would have been necessary with some earlier versions of Windows. It's a little finicky and doesn't include the base as shown in the picture. Time will tell if it will hold up or fail quickly. So far, so good.
