Nice external drive.

Reviewer: Kathryn L. Farber,

I received the product in a reasonable amount of time and it works fine. I bought it to use with a Netbook. The only problem is the netbook won't accept some of the things I want to download onto it.

DVD burner

Reviewer: TA,

This produce has "DVD RW Burner" in its name which implies it can write DVD RW disks. This product can only read DVDs which is a misrepresentation of what this product is.

It works

Mine wasn't the model that everyone was raving about, however, it works. Performance seems fine. Only issue is the fact that the drive requires 2 USB ports, but then I knew that.

Reviewer: M. Iddings,

This item is said to be for Acer Aspire One. I expected it to say that somewhere on the product or the instruction manual. Instead it said on the box & the drive "Clearmax". There was nothing on it to indicate it was made for Acer Aspire One.

The instruction sheet was useless. The disc that had the drives on it would not load anything.

On my Acer Asire One, it took me half an hour to get it to play a DVD. It downloaded from the internet three different downloads and it did it two different times. In the process it screwed up my USB sound card so I had to reinstall it again.

I tried it out on the big computer since my son wanted to burn a DVD and our DVD burner wasn't working. It took 15 seconds to pop up a message that the new hardware was installed and ready to run. I was encouraged by that since it took me half an hour to get anywhere with the other computer. My enthusiasm was short lived. It would not recognize a blank DVD or a Blank CD. WE could not burn anything to either one.

I thought maybe it would be useful for my daughter's Switched on School program if nothing else since the CD drive on her computer doesn't work. I put the Switched on School disc in, brought up the program and tried to go into a lesson and it would not recognize the disk. It said there wasn't a disc in it.

So, if all this thing is good for is watching DVD's or listening to CD's then it's not very useful to me. It is going back.

Works, But Not Without Issues

I have found this drive works fine for me playing back & recording non-commercial DVD's (ones you record & have recorded yourself); maybe its just me, but I could not get it to play a standard DVD movie. Works fine all around with CD's. Good for backups etc, but maybe it will not do everything for everybody. Good price - so I am satisfied overall.

UPDATE- tried on Windows Vista laptop - and works great all around, including playing commercial DVD's just fine!!!, (region settings etc, turned out to be the issue!). After tweaking,I am now VERY satisfied with product!

Did not come with external power adapter - so 2 powered USB ports are required.
