Sony DRX-S50U External Portable Slim-Line USB 2.0 DVD Drive Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this to use with a ThinkPad x61s.It works fine in Windows, however using it as a boot device is problematic.At times the laptop doesn't recognize that it is attached. A workaround is to try rebooting over again, entering the bios, exiting the bios, rebooting, and hitting F10.You may have to repeat this process, but eventually it will show up as a bootable device.

Also, the AC adapter plug doesn't quite fit the AC jack, seems like it is the wrong length, but it does work.

(More customer reviews)I recently purchased this unit from Amazon for my laptop. Frankly, the price was a large factor in my decision. The unit is VERY small, very light weight and it works well. It derives power from a USB port ( both USB data and power cord are included with the unit), which is my only complaint. I use mine with a Dell Inspiron that is a few years old, runninf Windows XP and with only 2 USB ports. I use it as my primarydesktop / laptop, so a USB extender port hub was a necessity. Unfortunately, the DVD writer causes too much of a power surge. Simple fix, though, I just bought a power convertor / charger for USB and connected the unit's power USB to the port on the convertor / charger. Software CD Rom included was not a big help and the programs included ( Nero et al) aren't all that new or as fast as newer programs. Regardless, the burner works well, has a very small foot print and is priced very competetively.

Samsung USB 2.0 8x DVD Writer External Optical Drive SE-S084B/RSBN Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The reason for four stars is merely the price and quality.Seventy bucks is somewhat steep for a drive that is kind of cheap feeling and the eject disc button is manual and not electronic kind of what is in some laptops.As long as your not rough with it than it should last but the feel of it just shows otherwise.Then again it requires no power supply but it does require two USB ports though you might be able to run with one.The size is about half of a 8.9 inch netbook my wife owns.The biggest surprise I had was when I got it out of the package and it was light and smaller than I even hoped.My wife can fit this in her netbook case which anyone with a netbook knows that not having a disc drive can be an inconvenient one.This is probably one of the best options for small and portable without being too bulky.Great disc drive that does what it should do.
