I bought this at Micro Center yesterday and it won't play a DVD. Can't find any help on ASUS website.

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.

Nice, low profile, easy to connect and use with my laptop that did not come with a CD/DVD device.

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.

I use this product to burn photographs for my clients. It was extremely easy to setup on my Mac and it is exactly what I needed. Small, lightweight, compact, no power cord needed.
