Chuanganzhuo USB 2.0 Slim External CD DVD Drive - Portable CD-ROM DVD-ROM Player for Laptop Notebook PC Desktop Computer - Mac Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8/10 Compatible - Black Review

I couldn't get this drive to work. Of course, my computer recognized the device, but otherwise the drive just vibrated and made grunting noises when trying to insert a CD or DVD. I couldn't get it to recognize any drive I tried, I tried ten different drives just to be sure. I've also followed the troubleshooting steps (disconnect/reconnect USB, restart computer, etc.) to no avail. One more thing: it needs one USB port for data and one for power. USB ports are not always plentiful. I think…

I was recently trying to downgrade Windows 10 to Windows 7 on an old computer to play some old games that weren't Win 10 compatible . When booting from a CD Win 7 I kept getting the message that the file was corrupt, but after some research I found that my old DVD drive was defective. Since Win 7 is no longer available to download to a flash drive, I'm stuck. I bought this as a cheap fix so it allowed me to boot Win 7 from the bios with no issues. For some reason when I plugged the drive into…

Great value optical drive! Remember this is for USB 2.0. I bought it with my NZXT S340 case as there are no internal drive slots in this case. It worked great when I bought a USB 2.0 port on the back for this case. Since I was building a brand new system, I couldn't reinstall Windows from this CD or a USB stick because I kept getting the "Missing Windows optical driver" error. All ports in the above case are USB 3.0 ports. So by purchasing this optical drive along with the USB 2.0 packaging…

This is not an RW drive and that's fine. Few things need to be burned to CD/DVD, so this is ideal. If we can save costs as a result, so much the better. It seems to show up in the BIOS as TEAC CD-ROM and when used with a DOS USB driver I've had for years it recognizes it as the same and works fine. Auto-detection of Win 7 and Win 10 confirmed. It is currently connected to a rack server with ESXi, the BIOS detected it and successfully booted/installed ESXi from there. It looks like the max value

Great USB DVD/CD drive. Excellent value for money, downloadable, perfect for installing operating systems on mini laptops without a CD drive. This inexpensive CD/DVD player performs better than some DVD-ROM drives on my laptop. On the one hand, if you place this drive on a solid, hard surface and read intensively from the drive, there will be a slight vibration since the drive is very light. However, this can be easily remedied by placing the CD/DVD on the mouse pad; then everything is quiet…

The thing isn't bad, but to be honest it's almost impossible to use in the form in which it's sold. First of all, my own usage will be slightly (perhaps very) different from most here. I chose 2 of them to speed up DVD data to disc transfer. Adding 2 DVD drives to 2 BRD drives makes it easy to transfer over 2000 movies/TV shows to disc. It just makes it faster. So that a few moments and notifications. #1: This MUST NOT connect a power cord to a PC, only a powered USB charging dock (read: no…
