Stop debating and buy this one.
I spent hours deliberating over all the choices Amazon had to offer. I’m not cheap, but I’m disabled and on a very limited budget, so I was leaning towards the low end of products to stay in my budget. I finally decided to try this product due to the 5 star reviews it got. Right out of the box, feels sturdy and well made. Virtually no setup, plug in the USB cable, and start doing whatever it is you want to do. The reason I needed a burner is most of my old copied music CD’s were deteriorating, and I wanted to make new copies to keep in my truck. I was astonished at the speed this drive copied and burned my new CD’s. I reproduced 9 albums in a little over 45 minutes. I am more than satisfied with those results. Also during the copy/burn process, I did not hesitate to abuse the drive a bit. Nothing violent, just average bumping, tapping, lifting and turning it, and not a glitch whatsoever, that is until I turned it upside down…It didn’t like that…but picked up right where it left off, and had absolutely no effect on the quality of the burns.I also checked all of them and listened to 3 to their full length, and they all sound perfect.There are a couple of “Cons”, but they are more than justified for the price and are easily accepted, or worked around. The first one is the “attached” USB cable, I would prefer it to be detachable, so it could be replaced if something happened to the original, but when I considered the fact that it is conveniently stored right on the unit for easy storage, transport, and protection, I decided to cross the “damage cable thing” bridge when I get to it, and move on. The second “Con” is that they don’t include any software to actually use it other than Windows Media Player for playing music. So, I did my usual research and found “Express Burn” by NCH Software. It did a great job and very easy to use at an also unbeatable price…FREE! There may be others out there, and of course you could pay to get some premium features, but this program will copy files, create back-ups and copies of your music collection, as well as create bootable CD’s to repair your Windows build if need be, without making an additional investment. To close this “novel” (which I almost never write reviews) I will just say I highly recommend this drive, and paired up with the free software you can’t go wrong!

Works well, convenient to connect, great price, but the continuous flashing light bugs me
Overall, very pleased with this unit. I’ve used it to connect to several PC’s now (laptops, and super-small form machines with no DVD drive), and it has worked easily with all of them. Just plug and play. Nice that it does not require a power supply of its own. Haven’t had any problem with any of the DVD’s I’ve tried so far, works about as well as the built-in drive on my larger computers. The extremely small form factor is great for portability. Being as small as it is, it seems kind of delicate, so you have to be a little careful when loading and unloading a disc. Couple of minor issues: Again, because it’s so small, there’s seems to be no sound baffling at all, so there is a distinct whirring/scratching sound while a disc is in use, although this is usually only heard when there is no sound from the movie (or whatever you’re listening to). And, when playing a disc, there is a CONSTANT flashing yellow LED on the front of the drive. Turning it in another direction is the simple solution. But how about a solid green light, instead of a flashing yellow? It looks like it’s indicating a problem, when there isn’t one.
