Review on 🔍 Optimized for SEO: Memorex 98251 External CD/DVD Writer 8x by Brent Cole

Standard reader/writer. This is extraordinarily heavy and somewhat bulky, made of plastic rather than metal. It looks cheap and ugly, not like the photo. Nero came with him - the days of Nero's fame have come and gone. I prefer a free utility called ImgBurn that takes a lot of the guesswork out of burning discs. It has dual USB connectors - one for data and power, the other for power only. It depends on your computer if you need to connect both, usually on USB 2.0 laptops. USB 3 offers more performance and you can use a standard mini-USB cable or leave the second USB connector unplugged. Or use an active hub. As with any external optical drive, Apple has made optical drives more difficult to use in general. You'll have to google their forums if you have problems - make sure your 'search' settings are correct and tick 'share'. This is a standard optical drive and will show up on any OS X computer if you press the right keys - it's not the drive's fault if it doesn't. this. It will appear on the Mac - provided you give it enough power. For example, you may have trouble trying to burn discs on your MacBook Air.
