Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 May 2016Colour Name: PinkVerified PurchaseVery happy with this external optical drive. I an Asus enthusiast, when i needed an optical drive i saw this on Amazon i decided to go for it after reading also the good reviews,i don't even use both usb only to plug it to my laptop, it works just fine with one, and it looks good in pink. I dig different colors when available than the boring black grey or white.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 May 2020Colour Name: PinkVerified PurchaseDoes what it says without the fuss
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 February 2014Colour Name: silverVerified PurchaseWorked ok and looked pretty, but it requies 2 USB ports for power which wasn't clear from the description. I only have 3 ports on my new laptop so I returned it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Preis-/Leistung überzeugt
Colour Name: silverVerified PurchaseNachdem ich ein VicTsing aus klapprigem Plastik, das mein Brennprogramm partout nicht erkennen wollte zurückgeschickt habe, fiel die Entscheidung für dieses absolut hochwertige Teil (für nur 10 Euro mehr!). Das Grundgehäuse ist auch aus Plastik, aber passgenau und solide verarbeitet. Die Front wird durch eine Aluminiumplatte gebildet. Die Lade öffnet und schließt präzise. Man kann es hinlegen oder mit einem kleinen integriertem Standfuß auch hinstellen, die Lade ist dann an der Seite.
Ich betreibe es an einem Convertible (T300 CHI) mit Win 10. Es wurde sofort nach dem anstecken ohne Treiberinstallation richtig erkannt und im Explorer als Laufwerk angezeigt. Mittels einer mitgelieferten DVD kann man noch diverse Programme installieren: ein eigenes Brennprogramm "Power2Go" und ein spezielles Backup-Programm sowie diverse Features. Braucht man aber nicht unbedingt. Das lesen funktioniert problemlos, das Brenn sowohl direkt über den Explorer als auch mit diversen Brennprogrammen die das Laufwerk alle erkannt haben. Ich habe nur Verbatim DVD+R getestet, ohne Probleme. Die Wiedergabe von Filmen oder Musik funktioniert ebenfalls (ich nutze den VLC Player).
Versorgt wird der Player über USB. Das mitgelieferte Kabel hat einen normalen Micro-Stecker auf der Geräte-Seite und 2 Typ-A-Stecker auf PC-Seite. Damit funktioniert der Brenner auch an USB Ports die nur 100 mA liefern, wenn man 2 parallel steckt. An heute verbreiteten Anschlüssen mit 500 mA funktioniert es auch mit nur einem Stecker. Zwar ist die Stromaufnahme nicht angegeben, aber sie dürfte bei etwa 150 mA liegen. Ich nutze deshalb ein normales Micro-USB-Kabel.
Fazit: Sehr gutes Gerät zum angemessenen Preis

5.0 out of 5 stars ottimo prodotto
Colour Name: silverVerified PurchaseHo comprato questo prodotto per abbinarlo al pc ASUS Vivopc vm40b. E' davvero comodo, lo si collega al pc e funziona immediatamente, senza bisogno di alcun driver (uso Win7), masterizza cd e dvd senza problemi e senza essere eccessivamente rumoroso.
Il design è elegante e occupa poco spazio.
La consegna da parte di Amazon è stata impeccabile come sempre.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gutes Design gepaart mit hoher Qualität
Colour Name: silverVerified PurchaseDas Gerät ist recht flach und durch die gebürstete Metalloberfläche sieht es auch gut aus. Es lässt sich unter Windows 11 problemlos mit dem PC (Intel Mini Nuc) koppeln und brennt und liest zuverlässig.
