Questions & Answers

Debbie W : Can I install using the discs that came with my retail purchased programs?DEREK J : Written in the description: You can attach it to any computers that have two USB 2.0 ports and have it work right away. No driver installation is necessary, it is as easy as plug-and-play
Shopper : will it work with windows 10?JEFF D : Windows 10 recognizes the device immediately. No drivers needed.PAULS C : This drive works well with Windows 10 on my computer.JAMES W : Yes, I just used it with Windows 10 this week.
Shopper : Does this come with a stand? I have seen it pictured elsewhere with a stand. Will it work with mac os x mavericks?TAI THIEU T : No, There is no stand at all. It works with MAC as long as MAC finds it. The best way is to plug in this device before turning on the MAC system. Windows has no problem. It detects and installs the device as a USB plug-in. It works great.PETER H : Mine did not come with a stand. I just set it on the desk. It comes with two USB plugs but I only need to use one in my computer with USB3. I don't know about Mac but guess it would work.

External Slim DVD-rw

As my new Asus laptop didn't have a DVD drive, I bought this unit as it was the same brand of my laptop and the price was very attractive. Works as expected.

Burns disks great

I bought this to back up my digital goods (also back up to a hard drive) in case the hard drive fails. It worked right out of the box with my iMac, just plug in and voila, it's ready to burn disks.
