Computer Desktop With Dvd Burner Included

I was surprised to find that the computer I wanted and would fit my needs did not have a built in CD-DVD reader/burner. The Asus External Blue-ray drive completely fills my needs.

My new Lacie external DVD burner came with two USB cables in case it needed extra power. Mine did, but my Mac powerbook pro, 2.16 Ghz has only one port on each side and the Lacie cables are not long enough to reach. This product solved that issue. However, I still have a problem with the drive. Almost every other time I use it the computer defaults to the computers DVD burner, which has an optical problem. So I have to reset the Pram every time this happens in order for the computer to default to the Lacie. Shouldn't be this way.

I have used this external DVD burner quite often when a computer I am working on does not have a DVD drive, so far is recognied right off, write speed is OK, works on wins 8,

Rarely ever a coaster, regardless of the burner or computer

I use this by my desktop computer. Cat5e cable comes in from downstairs (router) and plugs into this gigabit switch. A short Cat6 cable goes to the desktop computer. Another short Cat6 cable stays close by to plug into either my laptop or notebook computers when I need them. Rubber pads on the bottom will keep it from moving around on top of a desk; however, I mounted it vertically on a wood shelf with the ports facing down with the included 2 screws. The cord on the included AC adapter was plenty long for my needs. The centerline distance between the holes in the back of the switch are 1-13/16 -- not 1-3/4 or 2. I don't know what led Netgear to pick what I would call a kind of non-standard dimension; it's much easier to pick off more common dimensions on a ruler than 1-13/16 when trying to install the switch. But overall it is a great product.

I used 1 out of the 3 included cables to install a new SSD into a desktop computer. The remainder will be used at home on my machines. Thanks!

Very easy to use wish it was a 16x burner i do like it easy to use have burned a dvd worked nicely

Nice DVD burner built good and works great, easy to use

The best external drive I've had, outclasses both my old external DVD burner and my old Blu-ray burner

Used as an external/portable CD/DVD player/burner for several machines. Is instantly recognized by Windows 7 and is available for use in a matter of a few seconds after being plugged in. It needs two USB ports but no other external power source.
