Review by A. Dent for 24x USB External CD-ROM CDROM Drive for ASUS EEE PC

This must be emphasized because, these days, 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 case 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 recognize the DVD format.
As a CD drive, it performed flawlessly when connected through the USB port on my Vista machine.
You will find the following in the box:
- the CD drive itself
- USB cable to connect to computer
- cable to connect to external power supply (not needed and external power supply is not provided)
- mini CD disk with drivers (not needed in my case)
- 3-paragraph ‘manual’
Worth mentioning:
- drive is very slim – 1/4″
- on my Vista laptop installation was automatic and the drive was recognized immediately
- a USB 2.0 port appears to provide all the power the drive may need
Within the context of this being a CD drive I am going to subtract one star for the ‘for ASUS EEE PC’ claim. This will work on an ASUS machine but it will work on ANY computer running XP or Vista so calling it ‘for ASUS’ is only marketing hype that may blind potential customer into assuming (see above) that they are getting a DVD drive with the purchase.

Easy to setup, lightweight, small in size but performs well. I recommend this item to anyone that recently purchased a netbook and needs to load a few sotware items on to the netbook. Get this item as it does exactly what it was designed to do.

Bought this for my son’s ASUS eee PC. The PC did not recognize the drive and wouldn’t read it. After futzing around for a couple hours installing drivers, testing the drive on another machine, testing the usb ports on the PC, etc. I gave up and decided to ship it back for a refund. It’s supposed to be Plug n Play, but judging by other reviews, it does not work as intended on every PC. If its works, its a great cheap little drive, but if it doesn’t work life’s too short to screw with it.

I just got this external CD drive and find it to be perfect for installing my anti-virus software on to my little netbook. What a great buy! The seller got it to me fast too. I have no complaints.

I bought this to install software on my Asus netbook. Opened the box, plugged it in, and simply use it without any problem what so ever. For the price from Amazon, nothing to consider. If you have a netbook get this drive.
