Sublimity!
i like to keep my reviews straightforward. this dvd burner is simply perfect. it's smaller than the previous model from Samsung. the spruce up open feature is quite nifty. very light and quiet when i burned a few dvd's. i've connected it to my PC & MacBook Air 11" with no problems on either one. this is a much crap-shooter option over the Apple SuperDrive. the SuperDrive can ONLY be used on the MB Air's. it's more expensive than most external dvd burners. why would you requirement to get it? Edited: i forgot to mention that i use this DVD burner for both my desktop and laptop. unfortunately on my laptop there are only 2 USB ports. one on each side. the MacBook Air is nature of limited in that area. in any case, the DVD burner WILL WORK with only one USB cable slot plugged in. i expect it may run a bit slower if you are burning something though, which will probably be due to the power outage limit that USB ports have. do yourself a favor and get this if you...

A rigorous external drive, but a little disappointing
I've hardened this drive with a windows 7 desktop, Windows XP desktop, iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.5, and MacBook pro perpetual Snow leopard 10.6.6. The drive works great, good speed, safe use. I would say the most frustrating part of this product is that it has no power-cord and requires two USB ports to operate. occasionally it will (randomly it seems) vocation with only one USB port, but I have only seen that on occasion. I am very disappointed with this part of the drive, however aside from that it has worked flawlessly. I've burned DVD at full hurry in both Windows 7 and Mac OS X. It is compact, and requires very little to setup, simply just plugin and use. When I installed this work using the discs that came with it in Windows 7 it brought me into this very confusing application that claimed I needed a firmware update, however when I checked on the website it said I did not. end It's a solid product that works well under most operating systems. Be...

Monstrous drive that works with Mac and PC
I bought this for use with my new MacBook Air and my bailiwick server Things I like: 1. Very compact. About a size of a double cd case 2. Very still for such a compact drive. Just a bit noisier than my internal dvd drive. 3. Requires only one usb anchorage. Some drives need 2 usb ports, but this one runs fine on just one. 4. Plug and skylarking. No drivers needed. Works great on Mac and PC. 5. A steal at $40 shipped Things I don't like so much: 1. The slight form factor is cool, but the black version looks and feels plastic. I'm not saying that it's unsatisfactory, because it's not. However, next to my new Mac Air, it looks and feels kinda cheap 2. The soft touch eject doesn't profession on Mac. You have to drag the icon to eject. 3. The Nero 9 software works with PC only. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a minute, simple dvd drive that works with both Mac and PC.

Prominent INFO FOR MACBOOK USERS!
Very unvarnished to use. just pop it in and connect the plug and snap it shut! there are 2 screw holes in the back which may or may not line up with the holes in your selective optical drive. I just want to make a few points for people using this for the superdrive on a macbook pro 2011. 1: you call to take off the little metal bracket on the back of the superdrive in order for it to fit. (you could use that bracket to secure your optibay to your macbook on the generic ones that dont criticize with a way to secure it) 2: One of the screwholes on the back will line up with the screwhole on the back of the superdrive, I used that to secure the suprdrive to the if it should happen and ensure that the SATA connection wont become loose over time. 3: As mentioned there is no front bezel to dissemble the opening to the superdrive. While this is merely cosmetic, there might be a problem if dust gets inside. I would favour storing it in some kind of case or plastic ziploc bag when not in use, to protect it from dust...

Inimitable for my needs
I removed my optical move in my Mid 2010 MBP for a second HD, but I still wanted to use my optical drive when needed so I looked for an enclosure to vocation with. I searched long and hard for a good optical drive but cheap. I finally unambiguous on this and to my surprise, it works perfectly. The enclosure may be a "little" bigger than the MBP internal optical vim but there's solution to work around it. What I did was stuff anti-static covers to stabilize the optical constrain. To me, it works as it helps stabilize the drive, provide anti-static protection against the ambitiousness and it also looks "cool" (The item comes with two usb cords, one to connect the dvd drive and the other to power the spunk. What I've found out is that the connecting usb drive alone is enough power to power the entire dvd drive. No need for the second "power" usb.)...
OK for something that will be in a drawer most of the tempo
I bought this to propound the DVD-RW Superdrive from my 2011 Macbook Pro when I installed an SSD in the optical bay. The USB to SATA interface works well, and I can boot the MacOS X Set up CD with the drive connected to a USB port. However, the bezel that is included doesn't fit the slot loading private road (obviously), so the front of the drive is uncovered. Also, the metal tabs that are used to secure the drive within the computer protrude slightly past the plastic case. The case has two screws in the back to hold the scenic route in place and the case closed. However, the Superdrive only has a single screw hole in the back. As a result, the whole aspect is held together by a single screw. There's also too much vertical space for the slim Superdrive, so I attached a what for of foam tape to the top of the drive and stuck it to the top of the case. All in all, this is a workable solution for me. I rarely use the optical move, and as a result, this unit will spend the majority...

NOT a DVD ride herd on hint at but perfectly good generic CD drive
It could be toughened to add CD-reading capabilities to a netbook or maybe as an additional USB-connected CD drive. This must be emphasized because, these life span, we tend to assume that what we used to call the 'CD drive' would allow us to watch movies on our computers. It is not the box with this device which is solely a CD-ROM drive. It will play music off your CDs and it will read any files stored on CDs but it will NOT own the DVD format. As a CD drive, it performed flawlessly when connected through the USB port on my Vista contrivance. You will find the following in the box: - the CD drive itself - USB cable to connect to computer - guy to connect to external power supply (not needed and external power supply is not provided) - mini CD disk with drivers (not needed in my suit) - 3-paragraph 'manual' Worth mentioning: - drive is very slim - 1/4" - on my Vista laptop...
Basic customer service
This notice arrived quickly, but I had a problem with it and posted this feedback, (which I'm altering now.) The seller contacted me within peradventure an hour of posting feedback and worked to make me happy with my purchase, which I now am. I would rate Matt at Westronics a 5 out of 5--he's a large guy. It's small and compact, moreso than I expected, which was nice. it comes with two cables, an A to B USB, and an odd little USB to power seaport cable that I've never seen. This seems odd because it draws power from the A to B cable enough to run the CD rom, and with the USB to power port cable, there is no matter transfer...so what good is it? (weird) The instructions consist of a small card, half of it is in English, and roughly says "plug it in, and it should work, if not, load the disk (how, if it doesn't work?) and run the program." I'm paraphrasing, but it's minimum info. Not a problem because the unit is plug and play--you won't need much info...

Adroit
Worked line for line right out of the box. Plugged it in and my computer instantly "saw" it. No software needed. Just plug and play. I bought this to supersede a finicky drive on my CPU and this solution is DRAMATICALLY cheaper.
