Review: It works. - It works, which is all that matters really. My only gripe is the cables for these things are always way too short for use on a desktop PC. I had to buy a longer cable to go with this. It's not a bad little external DVD drive, windows 11 detected itimmediately, so it was no hassle to get working.
Review: Great piece of equipment - I bought this to replace an old DVD Burner / Writer / Player that wouldn’t work with my new laptop. This one is fantastic! Plug it in and it works straight away. My laptop runs Windows 11 and it worked no bother. I found files transferred onto a DVD both quickly and quietly. Glad I opted for this one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent device - shame about the instructions (edited)
*by F***L on 24 December 2020*

I bought this DVD re-writer to replace another device I could not get to work on my PC. it came nicely packaged, with a CD - which I thought was the driver disk. it just works, and is a great device. I have a few minor negative points - see below for more info. there are very few instructions for this device, so I thought this was be on the CD with the drivers. this is wrong! What you actually get are a few Cyberlink products (including DVD player, CD Label Printer, Media Viewer and players etc). you also receive a "driver watcher" of some description. Now on to a couple of things to explain my rating: 1: the CD does not seem to contain an actual CD driver of any description. So despite running the latest version of windows 10, my computer thinks the Windows default driver from 2006 is the best available. 2: there is a piece of software which gets installed which is some type of "device driver watcher" and the idea is, as much as I can tell, if there is a more current driver version available you would have the choice of downloading and installing. My comment on this is: if the computer is happy with a 15 year old driver and the thing works, I'm not sure 2021 is going to provide anything more current or useful... 3: As mentioned there is very little in the way of the instructions. during the install you get asked what you want to place on your computer, with no real idea of what the software actually is. Although not necessarily "Bloatware" - for me the DVD software is useful and very much a welcome addition, a lot of the other stuff I can't see a use for, although the backup software will be handy - I just need some blank DVDs to put stuff on to. 4: the box suggests you can plug the drive into a TV Directly. I did this onto my LG TV via the USB port. the drive powers up etc, however the TV does not see the device. I tried this with a DVD and audio CD. it's a shame because this would have been a bonus for me and happy for holidays when travelling away etc. 5: Noise. although the device is relatively quiet for the most part, it does get up some speed and can be quite noisy on occasion. In Summary: if you need a CD/DVD Rewriter then this is a great one to use, and certainly worth the extra few pounds over a "non-brand" device. If you need some media and backup software in a hurry (especially DVD player software), again this could be the device for you. I already have a lot of Cyberlink (and other media) stuff so some of this software is not likely to be used. it worked straight away. it comes in three colours (I went for white, black and grey were the other two available) there are no real instructions on what you are installing or why you need to. you could get away with not adding anything additional after plugging the drive in, if you have media players, good backup software etc. EDIT: removed comment about type of DVD-R and CD-R types you can use; it's quite clear in the description you can use all types (eg DVD +R and DVD -R). Also added reference to noise levels.
