Ramjet –
Good basic dvd burner. Price is good and quality too.
Shelcan –
Works perfectly. Nice add to enable DVD’s to be used since most laptops no longer have this built in
DaveC –
simple to use, works like a charm. It is small/compact so it fits anywhere on your deck or work station
Trillzoe75 –
Works great right out of the box, no software needed, just plug and use!
DanN –
It’s a bit slow but I could have done better if I knew what I was doing. So the product does what it needs to do as advertised.
RamChr –
Reads disc effectively for my wifes computer that does not have its own disc reader attached.
Raesin –
It’s not as fast as the built in one on my old laptop but it gets the job done
AlexG –
My dad was looking for a Reader/Writer to use to transfer some of his old CD’s to his PC, and since I already owned this and really liked it, I bought it for my dad as an early birthday gift, and so far he loves it!
RichardC –
Great product, fast and easy right from the box. Delivered fast and great price.
Rocky –
Bought this for laptop that didnt have a disc built in. Works great and essy to use
bobby –
Works great, connected to computer easily and quickly. Good deal
JohnD –
Excellent external optical drive. The open/eject button is placed a little weird and is tricky to press just right, but the drive itself is great. Can burn a backup disk or watch movies with no lag. Great price.
GEECEE –
Nothing wrong with the product but this BB store had a skeleton crew working as it took awhile to get help finding the product location.
dontbelievepromises –
sorry , this disc reader ended up freezing my new computer and it has never turned back on after i tried to install photoshop elements using the disc reader, writer
DemetriusS –
Works great and does what it’s says and overall is a great product.
nexradchris –
It reads disks and just works. I think it was worth buying.
JayM –
Needed a quick option to burn CDs and this worked perfectly. It’s nice to not require a PC with a built in disk drive.
Joseph –
Great product reading and writing on to disc. It works great
Ardin –
Works great, definitely does what I need it to and has no issues.
Eagle0971 –
Great option for a new computer that doesn’t have slots for an internal dvd drive.
ACirillo –
Very easy to use and pretty quick. Seems very fragile and is a Fingerprint MAGNET.
AlexB –
Sleek, lightweight, and easy to use.
Gets disks burned in a tenth of the time of the office PC! That price isn’t too shabby either.
LynnS –
Solved my problem. It works great and allows me to use the programs I have on disk.
Misa –
Needed this to download a copy of my x-rays and it gave me zero issues and reads fast. Compatible with my Mac and PC!
BA2136 –
Decent CD player for your laptop. I needed one for older pictures not in the cloud yet.
KennethB –
Works perfectly for playing discs on my laptop when I’m travelling
snakeisekans –
Ok unit, wish it was USB C though. Uses two micro USB cables and a type A. Quality of plastic is cheap, but fine.
SheilaB –
Easy to set up and use. Great for loading old games onto your computer.
Fredk –
Good for what it does. The door tends to stick on anything around the opening which is why the downgrade. I found putting the player on something a bit smaller than it will remove the problem. Reads my cd’s and DVD’s without any problems. Whether those were commercial products or ones that I recorded. This is not the bluray version.
The read speed is fast, and the player reads smudged or slightly dirty disks well. I had one disk with a deeper scratch that gave it problems, but other than that one time, it read anything I put into it.
Esco –
Perfect cd rom recorder easy to use great quality.
JohnB –
good service and product, knowledgeable people thanks
MichaelM –
I love this CD/DVD player. Works great with my Mac laptop and sets up easily. Great price, quality product. ASUS never disappoints.
Santo –
It’s a great product, more than what I expected…..
AnnS –
won’t write from music files on comp to a dvdrw. Maybe my fault for buying it.
BillR –
Works as advertised. Small, lightweight, I would recommend.
FredW –
A super deal picked up during Black Friday, already made a dvd disk and are very happy with this player.
Momma13 –
Daughter loves it easy to hook up to computer and helps her play games on computer
RyanI –
Item worked straight out of the box, hooked it up and off I went.
user106413 –
Good product, and easy to use. Very light. and convenient
happyshopper –
I love the diamond pattern on this and it runs quietly and opens easily. I had to return a different brand that I initially purchased because I couldn’t get it open and it was very noisy while running, but this one is fabulous. It’s worth every penny that I paid for it. Definitely recommend it.
Strykar –
Does the job well. And you can’t beat the price. I recommend it
Jdeja –
Forgot PCs don’t use disc drives anymore perfect for downloading movies on a PC.
Sunshine –
Using for as external DVD to play music from our old CD’s. Unfortunately computers do not have CD slots any longer. This is very handy to use to play old CD’s. ASUS brand prooved its quality again.
Merry –
Needed a device to read dvd’s for my laptops which do not have dvd players
Vonniequirk –
The ASUS – 24x Write/16x Rewrite/24x Read CD – 8x Write DVD External USB 2.0 DVD-Writer Drive – Black was so easy to install and works great with my new all-in-one desk top! When I don’t need it, I can unplug it and put it away. When I need it, it is readily available!
Becca21 –
This was desperately needed to play an older dvd-rom of very nostalgic film footage. I could not find any current product I had including blu-ray that could play the content. This played seamlessly and perfectly to my laptop! Perfect.
Rogre005 –
This thing is perfect if
You don’t have a disk drive.
wp64 –
This is a great external CD/DVD drive.
It comes with the software needed and is great for the newer laptops that don’t have an internal drive
WalterL –
This was an easy install. My only negative on this product is i wish it would have had movie player software instead of just burning software.
JessicaH –
Son wanted it for his computer to burn cds a thing of the past but he enjoys it and it works well
