Review on ASUS Lite Portable USB 2.0 Slim 8X DVD Burner +/- Rewriter External Drive, Mac & Windows Compatible, Black (SDRW-08D2S-U/BLK/G/AS) by Deva Raja (kamal) ᠌

1. The impression was made that it is extremely exacting to quality of disks. Moreover, only the Taiwanese spirit knows what quality he needs discs. Sometimes it refuses to see discs that are normally read by other devices, such as a home music center. I was especially surprised by the fact that while reading normally one of the DVD-RW discs, it stubbornly refused to clear it: for some reason, it periodically lost it. I managed to clear this disk from the 4th or 5th time (I had to mess around late in the evening, when all the shops were already closed), even some kind of excitement appeared - will I erase it or not? And after that, I normally made a recording on the long-suffering disk. 2. Contrary to the instructions that say it is compatible with Windows XP SP2, it practically refused to work until I installed the Power2Go program from the supplied CD. Moreover, Autosetup gave an error message and was interrupted. The branded disc was opened from the second time! I found setup in the directory and ran it manually - during the installation process I got error messages a couple of times. As a result, he earned, he writes new discs from the store. But it's far from plug-and-play. 3. It also comes with a proprietary program from ASUS, which calculates how many kW of electricity and how many trees are saved, thanks to the use of this wonderful device. How many of them are burned for nothing because of the clumsiness of the drive, there is no calculation.
