24x USB External Slim CD-ROM Drive (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It could be used to add CD-reading capabilities to a netbook or maybe as an additional USB-connected CD drive.
This must be emphasized because, these days, we tend to assume that what we used to call the 'CD drive' would allow us to watch movies on our computers. It is not the case with this device which is solely a CD-ROM drive. It will play music off your CDs and it will read any files stored on CDs but it will NOT recognize the DVD format.
As a CD drive, it performed flawlessly when connected through the USB port on my Vista machine.
You will find the following in the box:
- the CD drive itself
- USB cable to connect to computer
- cable to connect to external power supply (not needed and external power supply is not provided)
- mini CD disk with drivers (not needed in my case)
- 3-paragraph 'manual'
Worth mentioning:
- drive is very slim - 1/4"
- on my Vista laptop installation was automatic and the drive was recognized immediately
- a USB 2.0 port appears to provide all the power the drive may need
- a second 'power cable' is provided for just in case your USB interface can't provide sufficient power but there is no power supply
