I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

Bought as an external DVD'reader for raspberry pi4. Does the job, enough power. Connected to the computer a couple of times, everything is fine. Although I want to note that if you also connect an external HDD to pi4 usb, then there is not enough power for the second device. So, one thing or DVD or HDD

Pros
  • Nice box on the table. Works even with raspberry pi4. 😍 Reads old and scratched DVD discs. Hand tray is a plus for me
Cons
  • The footrest is just awful. A very unreliable solution. Short cable. A huge box, in which 3-4 more of the same will fit without any problems. No usb3.0 support, (do you need it?, well, maybe just for power)

Overall good, but expected more.

This drive is a quality alternative for both laptop and "chumadan". ASUS SDRW-08U5S-U Silver is just a good-ordinary DVD-RW external drive and nothing more. At the same time, a very cheap and meager equipment of the device for goods in 400-500 UAH. In general, the toy is good, the country of manufacture of the device would be better. Has some pros: 1. Perhaps the most important and most important; the fact that the drive is more or less well recognized and works in Linux, and of course in…

I like everything, the quality is good and the price is reasonable.

I got this miracle at work to connect to a netbook. That's why I can not specify the adequacy of the price. In addition to the disk from the kit, I played an Audio-CD and a DVD-R blank on it. When installed vertically, no creeps were observed. Obviously, the disadvantage 2) is associated with an unbalanced complete disk. Has pros: Nice design. Works well with Samsung N150-JA01 running Windows XP SP3. Discs DVD R DL writes normally. Its cons: 1) Short USB cable included (~40 cm from mini USB to…

Don't bother fixing your internal DVD/CD drive

This little drive works so well. Perfect fit for my iMac. You only need to connect one of the USB cables. There are no problems with detection, but this is not automatic; only when inserting a DVD/CD. Writes and transfers faster than the built-in disc in my computer. I am very happy with it.

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

The packaging was very good.

It's thin and works great on my PC. If you want to use it on your tablet, it also works, but it depends on the operating system. I have a dual boot tablet and the DVD burner/reader works on Windows (you have to plug one of the USB sticks into the charger and the other into the tablet), not Android. I haven't tried it on MAC. The packaging was very good.

Pros
  • understandable even to the old
Cons
  • Can add some

Worked great on my ASUS laptop right out of the box.

Worked right away on my ASUS laptop which doesn't have a DVD player. Plug and play, stylish, compact. Highly recommended.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Very cool thing and works with Windows 8.1

Very cool thing. I connected to 2 USB ports using a USB hub interface with Windows 8.1 and it worked great. Very compact. I haven't checked the CD/DVD burning but it read ok. cool product

Pros
  • Everything I like so far
Cons
  • Not everything is as good as it says

A great DVD/CD drive is an asset!

Excellent external/portable CD/DVD drive. It's quiet, fast and light. It connects easily to my old MacBook Pro and works effortlessly. It does not require an external power supply, which is also very convenient when traveling. Not every CD/DVD drive works with older MacBook Pros, and I've had a few bad buys. For the money this is a winner!

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Sad packaging
