Sony DRXS70U/R External Portable Slim-Line USB 2.0 DVD Drive Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It seems like everyone and his brother is getting this to use with an Acer Aspire One.

Well, it works fine with mine.

When I installed the CentOS/Linux operating system, the installation software didn't automatically recognize the drive, and I had to pick from a list of CentOS's drivers.That was no problem, however.

If you're going to use the unit to install a new operating system, or otherwise boot to the unit, you'll appreciate the outside power supply, since the USB ports on the Aspire One aren't powered until a few seconds into boot-up.By then the bios would have decided that no DVD was connected, and would be booting from the hard drive.

I found that out the hard way with a USB-powered unit made by LG, which is why I went for the Sony instead.That and several other problems with the LG.

Best for the Aspire One would be a USB-powered unit with an optional external power supply.

This is a first-rate drive, at a reasonable price.
