User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Nice Cd-Rom and Excellent Service from the Brilliant Store
Ordered on a Sunday morning and arrived on Tuesday with standard shipping.

Pros: Does what it is supposed to do, I immediately loaded a couple of photo programs on my Asus notebook and also Civilization III, Conquests.

Cons: If you are a Cal resident they charge tax. No big deal.

4 Stars NOT a DVD drive but perfect if a generic CD drive is all you need
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

Within the context of this being a CD drive I am going to subtract one star for the ‘for ASUS EEE PC’ claim. This will work on an ASUS machine but it will work on ANY computer running XP or Vista so calling it ‘for ASUS’ is only marketing hype that may blind potential customer into assuming (see above) that they are getting a DVD drive with the purchase.

5 Stars 24X External USB CD-ROM
Easy to setup, lightweight, small in size but performs well. I recommend this item to anyone that recently purchased a netbook and needs to load a few sotware items on to the netbook. Get this item as it does exactly what it was designed to do.

5 Stars Asus Netbook’s perfect companion
I just got this external CD drive and find it to be perfect for installing my anti-virus software on to my little netbook. What a great buy! The seller got it to me fast too. I have no complaints.
