Excellent add-on optical drive

This review is from: Asus USB 2.0 8x DVD Writer External Optical Drive SDRW-08D2S-U (Black) (Electronics)

The ASUS SDRW-08D2S-U is the replacement model for the 08D1S. It's plug and play--with the CyberPower 7 port powered USB hub the drive installs without software and is recognized by Windows 7. It does, however, require 2 USB ports. The supplied cable is a Y-USB with 2 USB "A" connectors on one end.

A common complaint of notebook owners are malfunctioning internal optical drives. This drive will be my primary optical drive, and my internal notebook drive only a back-up if necessary. Rubber feet help keep the ASUS from sliding around. The provided stand didn't look very stable, and inserting a disc is actually safer with the drive horizontal.

It rips CDs and plays DVDs flawlessly--a better, faster drive than the one in my HP notebook. A quality piece of gear from ASUS.

Great all around optical drive

This review is from: Asus USB 2.0 8x DVD Writer External Optical Drive SDRW-08D2S-U (Black) (Electronics)

I bought this item for my Asus Eee PC Netbook. The installation was a breeze and everything runs perfectly. I didn't have to use a disc (although it comes with one), and all I had to do was plug it in and it was ready to use. The one thing that you should know is that it requires the use of 2 USB ports and they have to be right next each other. If you have a laptop or PC that has 1 USB on one side, and the other on the opposite, you're out of luck (I have yet to try it by only using 1 USB port). I would hardly call it a complaint but it is a tad on the loud side when you play a DVD. Overall a great little DVD player for a much cheaper price here rather than buying one at your local Best Buy.

Great addition for Asus netbook

This review is from: Asus USB 2.0 8x DVD Writer External Optical Drive SDRW-08D2S-U (Black) (Electronics)

Ordered on 10-29 and received on 11-2, this external burner is a great addition to my Asus netbook. Installation was simple and it came with the Power2Go software. It works much better than I expected. I have had no problems burning CD/DVDs (so far).

Most Recent Customer Reviews Boy, is this thing LOUD This works fine, but it is REALLY LOUD. Very distracting. I'd put it under my desk but the cord is only about 1 foot long. by Kathy Does the job. Asus USB 2.0 8x DVD Writer External Optical Drive SDRW-08D2S-U (Black) Bought for use on new netbook. by Miriam Works well, but a little flimsy The product works well enough, and although the specs say it is for Windows, I have used it on a Mac OS/X machine. by Sandra Talbot good so far Got this for about $30( didn't bother w/ the rebate which can be more trouble than it's worth)and so far it's been working okay. by tc55 OK but with faults wrong item please do no accept this review I meant to review the acer netbook. The dvd drive works fine except for the software disk that arrives with it and is unloadable. by W. L. Rubink so far so good very nice (and attractive), just what I needed. If you need to import cds, burn dvds and stuff, this one is for you. by Fallible Human Being Goes with Eee PC Works perfectly with my Eee PC, just plugged it in and started downloading data from discs, no software installation necessary. by TinaT Great small dvd drive for laptop I have a thin and light with no dvd drive so this external is great, its pretty cheap, small, and portable. Also. it only needs usb power and no seperate plug. highly recommend by Leslie DVD Writer Really wish the USB cable was longer. Doesn't allow you room to sit the Writer away from your work area. by sweetpea Good DVD writer I bought this DVD writer a little while ago. It comes with a stand (which I haven't used yet) I use it with a HP mini net book and I've seen pretty positive results. by Last_C
