I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

Everything you need from a DVD-ROM. The main thing is to handle the tray carefully. When opening and closing, do not press on the top cover of the case, hold it by the sides. I bought to install the system, because. flash drives suddenly failed. He helped me out a lot.

Pros
  • - connected and ready - not noisy, slightly larger than the case from the disk - reads and writes, corresponds to the declared characteristics - sees both old and scratched discs - can be run from BIOS - beautiful embossed surface of the case cover
Cons
  • - quite delicate design of the drawer

A really necessary purchase, glad I found this product.

I recommend. For the price it's the best on the market. It's a shame that a week after the purchase, the price fell by 300r. But this is the market. Some pros: Reads all formats, in the presence of Type-C occupies one slot. Lightweight, compact and very stylish Got cons: not yet discovered. a little annoying slight fragility of the design, compared with SONY DRX-S77U. but they have 8 years difference or so.

Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

Complete and total sufficiency on DVD-ROM. The most important thing is to be gentle with the tray. Instead of pressing down on the case's top cover, it's safer to hold it by its sides when you open and close it. When my flash drives suddenly stopped working, I had to go out and buy a new system to install. To put it simply, he was a big assistance to me.

Pros
  • It is ready to use, has been connected, makes no noise, and is only slightly bigger than the disk case. Reads and writes correctly, matches the claimed properties - reads worn and new discs - boots straight from the BIOS The case cover has a lovely embossment.
Cons
  • - The drawer's delicate construction

A wonderful product, it's nice to use.

Nice design. Very nice click when closing the tray. The feeling is about the same as it used to be from the iPhone 4/4SE when you press the lock button :) Has pros: The quality of both reading and writing is excellent, that is, it recognizes scratched discs, and does not jam discs when recording. With its cons. There is no such thing, the quality of ASUS, especially optical drives, has always been on top. These guys know a thing or two about it.

Warning, 2 USB ports required

This worked great with my little Asus Zenbook, but my new Asus Zenbook Pro Duo only has 2 ports on opposite sides so I had to buy an extension cable but also a Bluetooth mouse because I couldn't use the old mouse's receiver. But a Bluetooth mouse will not stay connected even if both are Bluetooth 4. I have a Pro Duo and it has a touchscreen, but using it to boot from CDs and ticking the tiny boxes is cumbersome and frustrating. I doubt this will work well with a splitter, so I give up. Now I am

Works on my MacBook

I've only used it to burn discs 2 or 3 times but it was a good buy for me. The optical drive on my late 2008 13" unibody Macbook stopped working many years ago. I can't even fit a drive more than an inch into the slot. This external drive saved my day and now I have the ability to burn discs or download music straight to my laptop again. The writing speed was ok. plug and play I used both USB ports on my computer which are side by side on the left side of the laptop. One for data transfer and…

  • Great for a small home

Good drive at a good price

I needed a drive for my Zenbook that would run Windows and Ubuntu and read and write CDs and DVDs and after some research I decided on this one based on reviews decided (and knowing ASUS has great customer support). I've only had it five days and it's already ripped about 40 CDs to FLAC files and according to EAC it's doing a great job. it ran without problems via a single USB 3.0 port. My only complaint about it is that the plastic case is flexible enough that if you press down on the center…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

So far, so good. for computers and accessories

Preview. Long-term reliability is unknown. Works great with my windows laptop. Music CDs, DVDs played, and data CD-ROMs opened. Also works with my Raspberry Pi 4, although VLC media player seems to have a problem playing anti-piracy warnings. It was probably a settings issue on my end and not the fault of the device. The materials look good. I may prefer the micro USB to the mini USB on the player and I should note that my laptop has two adjacent USB ports as required by this device. If your…

  • Beautiful packaging
Cons
  • Little things

Does exactly what I need!

I bought a new laptop that didn't have a DVD/CD drive and needed to add programs that I have on the disc. This ASUS ZenDrive does exactly what I need! Connect and start the download, it didn't seem to take long. I give it the 5 stars it deserves. The only thing I can fault with the unit itself is the length of the cables, too short, I use it in an awkward position, I have my laptop on a shelf on my lap and there is enough room on the side to fit this drive to place . . It just fits and works…

Pros
  • Ease of use
Cons
  • Repair

Great external drive but requires TWO USB inputs.

I'm posting this review after a few weeks of use. This drive is amazingly compact. So some protection and care should be taken when storing and using it (I bought a hard case). I have an ASUS laptop and based on the reviews I think it's best to use a drive from the same manufacturer. .This drive is perfect for your laptop bag or backpack. I had absolutely no problems with this drive. The performance is quite in line with what is expected of a small and light external drive. It's not lightning…
