I've used this DVD drive for 3 months with very good results.
It always did the job without problems.
Pros:
- No power supply needed.
- Fits everywhere with upright design.
- Nice color and texture (excluding obnoxious labels ...)
Cons:
- Severe vibration and noise on some DVD/CDs.
I recommend it. Asus USB 2.0 8x DVD Writer External Optical Drive SDRW-08D2S-U (White)
I bought this Asus external DVD writer to use with Acer Aspire Revo computer. It looks beautiful, worked as expeted, and exceeded my overall expectation.
This drive does NOT require power supply. However, the USB cable has two male ends for connecting to the computer. Instructions suggest that we connect both of them to the computer so there is enough power for the device. I have tested by connecting just one of them to read a CD and it worked fine. (I haven't attempted to write using one connection.)
I am not using the stand - it is not needed.
Very satisfied with the size, appearance, quality, functionality, and convenience of this product. Highly recommened.
This is an attractive unit that can be placed horizontally or vertically. It works well, but does require two USB slots. I have an older, less attractive HP unit that works fine on one USB and has a light when it requires the extra one plugged in. THe light has never come on, but I think it is primarily for use with the lightscribe feature which I have never used. I bought this as a more attractive replacement, and was surprised to discover that the extra USB was required. - Slim External Dvd Rw - Nvidia Ion - External Dvd Drive'
