ASUS ZenDrive U7M SDRW-08U7M-U - Disk drive - DVD RW (R DL) / DVD-RAM - 8x/8x/5x - USB 2.0 - external - black :: 90DD01X0-M29000 (Storage > External Optical Drives)

Bought this for 1 reason, it reads DVD RAM discs. Also I was impressed with its easy install and play, not always the case. Noted a comment from one person about it needing 2 USB ports, this is because it comes with a Y-connector with 1 USB for data transfer and 1 for power, I had 2 ports available, but also have a USB 4 way extender. Interesting following its shipment from the US, but a lot to go through to copy 8 discs :-D Won't buy Panasonic DVD RAM writer again.

I am an oldie 66 years of age. I do not stream or anything fancy. I have stacks of CDs that I want to hear while working. This suits my purpose.

Happy with being able to use my family history discs. Easy to set up and operate.

Just plug and play, and it worked liked a charm

Very fast easy to use help me Very much

Pluged it in it worked first time no problems.

Great value

The DVD writer / rom works well, arrived earlier than expected. Thank you so much.

I usually do not write a review so soon for this type of purchase. I generally use it for awhile. I tested DVD RW and CD RW and they test good. I had a Macrium boot disk for imaging my system hard drive that works on boot up. I have a Dell XPS 8930. I started PC with the Asus DVD optical drive plugged in and the Macrium boot disc in the DVD drive. I started the PC pressedF12 and the Asus drive appeared, chose the Asus drive, and the drive booted to the Macrium rescue disk. So it will boot to the drive with bootable media inside the Asus drive.It is light weight, will play DVD on one USB plug 3.0. I use two male type A plugs normally. It has a Y splitter cable with mini USB male into the Asus drive and two male A plugs to plugs into the PC. I do not know if it will burn with one type A male inserted into a usb 3.0 port or not. Perhaps it would but I must test it later. It may be for USB 2.0 two plugs are needed but not sure. I use both regardless if I'm using 3.0 or 2.0 USB ports, but later I will test with one plug in 3.0 port to see if it works. When I will test that part is unknown.This little drive is plug and play without any of the software in the Asus box. It would be very handy to have the software though. The drive seems to be durable. Being that it is portable, be careful not to drop the drive when transporting etc.It does come with 2 Traxdata M disc DVD R discs 4.7 GB, 4X.I eject the disc and then unplug the drive rather than disconecting with a disc in the drive. The drive is fast enough. You will not be sorry if you purchase this drive with what I have learned so far.

Excelente grabadora para cd, hoy en día todas las Laptops no traen lector para cd y esta cumple muy bien su función y muy fácil de instalar, aún no la ocupo para quemar pero para leer cd o DVDs está super bien, excelente marca por cierto

Funciona muy bien, pero no se puede utilizar el eject en ciertos OS como indica en e lmanual, entre ellos linux y MacOs

Très ergonomique simple d'utilisation et très efficace rien a redire si ce n'est j'en recommanderai un autre :D Je recommande les yeux fermés.

Per il momento soddisfa le mie esigenze. Ho fatto una prova di lettura inserendo un vecchio DVD che avevo masterizzato circa 10 anni fa, nessun problema. Ho fatto una prova di masterizzazione dati a 4x su dvd con questo prodotto, non fa rumore e masterizzazione a buon fine.
