External USB DVD/CD f Netbook, Mini, Laptop PC - The Best Holiday Gift! Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)i bought this to replace another external drive that was only a dvr (i needed a cd/cdrw/dvd).i opened my very carefully wrapped and packaged drive and was pleased to see that it stated cd/cdrw/dvd right on the front of it!i was unsure of the 2 cords as well, but i plugged them both into my dell netbook, and it worked right away.the only thing i don't like is that when you eject, you have to kind of pull the tray out.it also seems just a tad sensitive if you touch it while it's working.other than that, a great deal and good product!

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.

Lenovo ThinkCentre 16x Internal IDE DVD-ROM Drive (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Like most normal DVD-ROM's this drive does a nice job of playing DVDs at 16x, nothing special there, good seek times, and IBM's high standard for quality projects.However, one other thing this drive does well is read DVD-RAMs at 3x, an uncommon characteristic for many drives.I searched high and low for a DVD-RAM drive with a high read rate, and in some cases any drive that would read DVD-RAM.This was one of the few that I found that was above 1x, most are 1x or 2x and cost an arm and a leg, mainly due to the fact that they are recorders as well.
Now, most people don't care about reading DVD-RAM, but I found that it was extremely important if I wanted to transfer information off my Panasonic DVR-HS2, then transfer it to my computer for futher editing and burning to my multiplatform 4X drive.
The problem is the Panasonic DVR-HS2 will only record DVDs onto -R at 1x, and RAM at 3x. This means that if you have 20 hours of VHS to back up onto your DVR-HS2 harddrive, it will take you another 20 hours to burn it and a ton of DVD-R.But if you use the DVD-RAM option you can burn all of the info off in a third of the time, and you only need to use 1, that you can write over 1,000 of times.Once you get the info on the DVD-RAM then you can let the IBM drive read it into your computer, super fast, and transfer the information about anyway you would like.
The DVD-RAM option is probably not big to a lot of people, but for those who do possess a Panasonic DVR, or any other stand-alone DVR,it is a very wise option to have for your PC.

External USB DVDRW DL DVD Burner Drive for ASUS EEE PC Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)this external dvd burner is by far the easiest to use, and the cheapest! but dont get me wrong on saying its cheap, because this a really good deal. I had no trouble at all installing it and using it. the title is a little misleading on saying it is for the asus EEE pc, but it can be used with anything that has 2 usb ports. the fact that it burns both dvd and dual layer dvds is amazing, considering other drives sell for $100+. in my opinion, the way the drive ejects (like a laptop drive) is a little annoying, but thats just me. when I got it, i was shocked on how small it actually is, about 5X5 inches and about an inch tall.

Velocity Micro VMdrive External DVD Burner (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Smooth operation; don't need to lug around another AC power supply; very nice package with slim black case.

Runs on USB power and works fine with Ubuntu, good quality quick burner. The drive comes with two cables, one for USB and one for additional power. I have not had to use the second cable yet and in research have found that it is only needed if your USB ports are "underpowered."

Well worth the cost in my opinion.

Samsung Internal Half Height DVD-W Supermulti SATA 22X Lightscribe (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this drive to replace a very old white DVD ROM, the old one wasn't even a burner it was read only and was now in a black case.This is a very good drive, seems well built, the tray moves smoothly and feels solid.I can't comment on the lightscribe function because I haven't used it yet.It arrived well packed, the only thing included at the time I ordered this drive was driver software, including live firmware update and a copy of Nero 8 Essentials.I did not install Nero 8 but if you don't already have burning software this is a good program to receive free.I have used other versions of Nero and I have always been happy with them.No SATA cord or screws, this was not a problem for me.I deducted one star simply because there is no drive activity light on the drive.This may just be the way optical drives are made now but I miss the light.It can be just a little difficult to find the eject button when the entire drive is black and installed in a black case.I'm sure I'll get used to it and maybe I'm being a bit picky.All in all, this is a good, solid, fast drive that seems to handle every disc format except, of course, Blue Ray, and it's at a reasonable price.And don't let the "half height" disignation throw you off, it is a standard size drive that fits a standard 5 1/2 inch drive bay.I may buy another one to replace my last IDE drive which is one of the first DVD burners that came on the market, I still have some of the 1x DVD discs that I bought after purchasing that old burner, so you can imagine how fast the new Samsung seems to be to me.

ASUS USB 2.0 8x DVD Writer External Optical Drive SDRW-08D1S-U (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Asus external DVD burner just arrived today. It was very nice looking and lightweight. Goes well with my black Asus EEE PC 900HA. Simple plug and play installation. However, I did not install the Cyberlink Power2go 6 software that was included in the package. The Y cable is about 20-21 inches long which is good enough for me since it is neither too short or too long. Underneath the dvd burner, there is rubbery panel that is removable and it is where you hook up the stand.

Anyway, I wanted to test how fast the drive can burn. So I plugged it into my old Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop and I used Nero 7 Ultra Edition software to burn 4.16 gigs of stuff in under 21 minutes (with verify disc option turned on). It is really fast and consistent (speed top out at 7.8X on a number of occasions). My Phillips burner in my Dell never came close to that speed (at most 6X). The noise isn't that noticeable either (or made just as much noise as the Phillips burner).

Overall, I'm quite pleased and surprised by the performance and looks of the Asus external DVD burner.

Additional notes: I used 2 USB ports (one on the laptop and one on Antec notebook cooler which was also connected to laptop) during the burning process and it didn't seem to have affected the performance.

Also, I ran some discs using only 1 USB port and they played fine.

Like the EEE PC, the drive can be a dust and finger-print magnet.
