## Description

Dvdrw portable int.

Review: Practical, easy, and portable - For a portable drive this one is the best. It's dirt cheap, plays and writes everything except Blu-Ray (who cares). You do not need to load the optional software if you have Windows Vista or 7. Yes, it does take two USB ports that are side by side to run. How do you close it without crunching it...you just either put your fingers behind it and slide the disc shut or hold it by the sides with one hand and push the drawer back in. No need to press down on the top of it and crush it but you can put a enough pressure up there too without any problem. Yes it's plastic and could be discontorted if you pushed really hard. While running a movie it is a bit loud sounding like a tiny fan on high speed but nothing that concerned me. This will run your laptop/netbook battery down more quickly so it's best for movies while the machine is plugged in. Bottom line. It's meant to be portable, light, and run everything except Blu-Ray. It does exactly that without fail.
Review: Great drive! - Got this for my fiance whose PC has a very slow and uncooperative CD-RW drive. This does everything he would care for it to do, does it fast, and works. That it requires two neighboring USB ports is not a problem for him because he is not using it for portability. However, the portability is a plus because we also have a netbook (with no optical drive built in, of course) so it serves dual purposes when we need to backup data or install software on either device. Thinking of buying another one for my parents.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how to get it to play dvd's**
A: Hi,It is very easy to use. Just plug into the USB ports on your laptop and activate/play your DVD (note that this player comes with a double USB port connector, so it is helpful if your computer system has double USB ports side by side, if not, it will be helpful to get a multi-USB port device).

**Q: Does it come with software**
A: yes it did but in the event it is lost you can get the needed drivers thru softonic download web site.

**Q: Is it compatible with Windows 8**
A: Yes.  In fact, I just bought a new Dell XPS tablet running Windows 8, it came with no drive, yet I was able to use this drive to install an older program I use that runs on Windows 7.  So yes, it should work no problem at all.  Make sure you have 2 free USB ports, as the drive requires both in order to operate.

**Q: can the dvd be played on a dvd player**
A: I really only use mine for loading software and for burning CDs to archive photos, but I'm perfectly certain that if you burn a DVD on it, it can be played on another DVD player. I own two of these, and the only problem I've had is one occasionally fails to latch closed reliably: it always latches eventually.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ perfect for my needs!
*by A***L on September 5, 2012*

Perfect companion for my Portege Z935! No power cords - although it uses 2 USB ports but this does not bother me, compact and easy to carry, doesn't feel that flimsy considering it is made out of plastic, tested it with a couple DVD for read/write and worked flawlessly, 1/3 of the price that BB wanted to charge me for it, it is the recommended accessory for my laptop... really, what can one want more? I don't have a high usage for it, got it about a week ago, hope it will last!
