## Description

Review: Easy to use - Have only used it once so far, and it worked perfectly. Connected to my iMac without any problem. I have enough USB ports, so the two required was not an inconvenience. Used to upload music files. Seemed to upload quickly for my use. Have not recorded to disc yet. It is built with quite a bit of plastic, but expect that for the price. Bang for the buck, I would recommend it.
Review: Perfect for... - Perfect for Lenovo ThinkCenter and laptop use. Compact, low power usage and works well. Takes 2 USB ports to use it though but expected this since it doesn't have a power adapter. There's laptops out there that only have 1 usb port so be careful.. I'm not going to dock this any stars since it's clearly stated in documentation. Thanks Transcend. Nice product.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Big Bang for your Buck
*by J***. on August 19, 2014*

August 27, 2014 changes: I lowered this drive to 4 stars. I have 2 of these. One of them lasted 31 days -- Amazon let me return it, even though it was one day over the 30-day limit. It simply stopped reading discs. I checked everything, cables, install, ports, etc. (and since I have two of these, it was easy to check what worked) and it was simply "dead." For the price, I still think it is a good product. The second drive is still working okay. Next time, I will add a square trade or other warranty. The manufacturer's warranty is 2 years, but I don't know how reliable it is. Original Review: (Four Stars) See below for why I bought this drive in the first place. ** Let me start by saying that this drive requires 2 USB connections. It has a split cable -- presumably it uses one for power and the other for communication. (They don't really tell you this or show you in any of the photos.) It isn't a problem for me, because it also works well with a USB extension device -- a powered one. I haven't tried it with a passive USB extender. Many devices won't work with them. This drive does everything it says it can do. It is very thin. I am using it on a desktop, but it would be great to carry around for a laptop. If it is connected directly to your USB port it is very fast. As it happens, I am using it on an older system. I am able to use it with a powered USB extender, and it works great -- except it burns discs a little bit slower. It works like a charm, however. I ended up buying 2 of these drives -- the first one worked so well and the price was so good I figured, why not? **Why I bought this drive: When my desktop's internal CD/DVD burner drive failed -- the belt snapped -- (hot inside a computer and it just wore out) -- I pried open the drive and the belt snapped out and hit me in the nose! -- I opened up the case and found that I would have to just about completely disassemble the computer to get to the drive so I could replace it with a new one. I am way too lazy to do that. Plus, my theory with computers is that as they age -- and the elements heat up with use -- the solders and connectors become somewhat brittle and will break when the computer is moved around too much. I have experienced this "phenomenon" since my first IBM AT computer in 1989. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a older system. As I am now retired, I can't afford to be an "early adopter" ore replace old with new as often as I would like. Hence, the "repair" instead of a new system.
