Reviews around power (4.73 of 5)

  • but I hate that it needs to be plugged into two USB ports to get enough power.
  • It comes with a cord that plugs into two USB ports to provide enough power but it works with just one in my machine
  • My only complaint is that it requires 2 USB ports to supply enough power to run, which is a bit difficult because they are on opposite sides of my laptop.
  • While it's not as fast as an externally powered CD burner, it's acceptable and quality is flawless.
  • Also, it takes up two USB ports to give it enough power to operate properly and to not cause hang up problems

Reviews around quality (3.59 of 5)

  • Engineering oversight, but like I said it reads and burns as it's supposed to,
  • I was expecting better reliability and quality from ASUS
  • I have purchased a couple of different brands of these USB DVD burners, and this one is on par with the rather cheap quality of all of them.
  • The quality of this product is terrible because the DVD-RW didn't work at all (i.e. right out of the box).
  • The installation would frequently hang as if there were a driver issue

Reviews around bite (1.69 of 5)

  • My one gripe is that it can be a bit loud, but otherwise it's great
  • I was a bit skeptical when ordering because it was so inexpensive, but it turned out to connect immediately and transferred my data flawlessly.
  • Bought the ASUS DVD-RW because I got a new Aspire E 15 for Christmas
  • It did seem a little bit slower than my laptop's built in DVD player, but not too slow
  • However, if you're fine with having a bit slower rips and burns, you can use the single USB (for data and power) and it will still work just fine.
