cheap and good solution - C. Leung, Oct 27, 2008
It works out of the box and it uses USB power - no transformer. A cheap solution to keep the old notebook that has a broken CD-ROM drive working.

I Gambled and Lost - Gatorowl, Oct 27, 2008
I bought this drive to upload software to a netbook. The drive came before the netbook, so I connected the drive to my desktop Mac. It recognized the drive but failed to successfully read the disk either under OS X or Parallels. I, wistfully, hoped that the drive was simply incompatible with Apple products.
When my netbook arrived, I connected the drive. The NB recognized the first disk I put in, but failed to read it. I then inserted my installation disk for MS Office 07. No luck. It would not read it.
Frankly, the drive is a finicky piece of crap. It was just $20, so I don't feel too bad about the purchase, but I clearly should have gone in a differ direction.
The denouement of the story is that the NB connects nicely to a Parallels based network. You can then install any software using the DVD/CD drive running under Parallels.

Perfect - Morosco, Oct 18, 2008
Worked perfectly right out of the box. Plugged it in and my computer instantly "saw" it. No software needed. Just plug and play. I bought this to replace a finicky drive on my CPU and this solution is DRAMATICALLY cheaper.
