I bought this primarily because my daughter occasionally needs an external CD/DVD for her new Asus netbook she got last Christmas, but WOW did we get more than our money's worth. I didn't expect to get such a well thought-out product for the money. I use this product to burn family documents such as annual tax records to DVD's in case of a catastrophe. The included software is pretty complete, and includes provisions to encrypt your data as well. You don't have to encrypt the entire disc either. It burns all compatible discs flawlessly, including dual-layer. The drive is really compact and goes anywhere (without requiring an external power supply). One of the best purchases I've ever made for sure. Highly recommended!

Purchased this as a gift and an alternative to the built in optical drive on my dad's 8 year old laptop. He uses the laptop to browse the internet and watch dvd's but the optical drive wouldn't recognize dvds anymore. It has worked out great although I also had to get him a usb hub because his laptop only has 2 usb ports and the ASUS external drive requires 2 ports to be connected.
So far it has been working good for him and is very easy to use especially since my dad is not too keen on computers. He likes it because it is very slim and small, light weight, and very portable. The only downside he has mentions is the video appears a little dark, but this maybe due to his laptop being a bit outdated.

I have an older PC with a DVD ROM drive only. Upgrade to an internal DVD RW drive's is a more expensive solution and the installation would be more cumbersome, so I choose the USB route. Fortunately, I had already installed a USB2.0/firewire card for connecting to my digital cameras and ipods, so USB connectivity is not a problem. However, I had to connect both USB cable to make this work properly. Bummer! You need one for the I/O and the other for power. Windows XP auto-detected the device and loaded the driver automatically so that was easy. You may need to connect everything up before you power-up and boot your PC for auto-detect to work properly. You can see the drive icon for the new DVD drive in My_Computer from Windows Explorer. The stand can only mount the drive in one direction not both (for left sided installation versus right sided installation), so for my setup, I wanted the DVD drive to be on the left of my desktop therefore I cannot used the stand. ASUS pay attention, make it universal for both left and right. I just laid it flat on the desktop next to my PC.
I would definitely recommend this as an inexpensive upgrade for an older low end or mid-range PC (4-5 years old). Good value and good buy.

I found that this dvdrw it's perfect in it's size. Ok, it's 8x, but definitelly I'm not in a hurry burning 100 dvd's. It's light and small enough to carry when I need to. The small plastic support that came with the unit (lets me put the whole thing in a vertical position) is very usefull, but no for me (I use ocasionally the unit and back to the box). The white color is beautiful.

Drive works well. I find that there is some vibration even when placed in the upright stand provided, but this is my first external since a 3 1/2 floppy drive. For the price it is everything I would want. It is a little ackward to use portable as I bought it for use with the ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005PE-Netbook, but that's what I have USB flashdrives for. Overall the read and write speeds are comparable to the other internal drives I use and works good even with a DVD without any noticible distortion. For general all round use its great, if you need extra speed I can't comment as a movie is all tested.
