Review on πŸ”₯ Highly Reliable Asus 8X External Slim DVD+/-RW Drive SDRW-08D2S-U - Retail (Black) - Top Performance and Convenience by Covey Palmer

Revainrating 4 out of 5

DRIVERS DO NOT WORK FOR WINDOWS 8!

This external compact DVD-RW optical drive looks good. I bought it for my ASUS netbook with Windows 8.1, but it won't read DVDs or CDs from an external drive. The nice thing is that it comes with 2 USB ports (side by side) so this optical DVD drive gets enough power to run, but it just doesn't read anything. The box says it's compatible with Windows 8, but I can't get it to work. Also can't find any drivers to download that can get this drive to work. If someone does not give me advice, I will return this item. Also, it didn't come with a cute little stand so I could stand it upright (because desk space is sometimes an issue).

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Socket required
