Review: Does the job and looks great too! - I really love this external DVD Writer. I've had tons of external burners going back to 2000; so I've had my fair share of tech experience with them. This external gets the job done perfectly. It doesn't require an extra USB plug to help power it. It doesn't need an AC adapter to power it either. It only requires 1 USB connection to power it and for it to work. It's not loud at all like some externals can be. I've burned CD's, CD-R'S, DVD-R'S, and had no problems other than faulty CD's or DVD's. It burns fast too. I've burnt music cds, audio book cds, dvd movies, data back up dvds. They all burnt fast. I'm sure there are some faster external burners. But you're going to have to pay a lot more as well. But if you just need an external DVD burner because your laptop doesn't have one like mine this is perfect! I've had it for a couple months now and it's performed great. I plug it in and unplug it while my laptop is on and it doesn't have any problems being recognized. I didn't have to download a bunch of bloatware drivers to get it work. It comes with burning software but I just threw it away after a couple weeks. I use a version of Nero I've had for several years to handle all my CD/DVD burning projects. Another reason I bought it is because I commute to work, hence my light weight laptop with not disk drive, and it's handled my weekly commutes fine. It's in a case and held up to being tossed on a bed, sofa, chair, in my messenger back driving trips, etc. It looks great too. I have a Samsung ATIV Book 4 and it looks great sitting next to it. I purchased the CaseCrown Faux Suede Sleeve (Black) to keep it safe from damage and dust when it's not in use. Highly recommend that case too. Bottom Line: If you don't want to spend a lot of money for an external burner that you need for simple but important projects (back ups, dvds of pictures for friends and family, playing pc games that require a disk drive, one that you'll use occasionally or on a regular basis, fun or business; GET THIS EXTERNAL! You wont regret it!
Review: It works!!! - Okay, maybe the title sounds over ambitious for this review, but that is because I had ordered an inexpensive blu-ray player first that DID NOT work, so I was pretty excited to get this. I plugged it into my Surface running Windows 8.1 and BAM! there it was in Windows Explorer. It did require that I download DVDFad Passkey and VLC Media Player (both free) to get a movie playing, but that is a Windows 8 issue, and as soon as I had those it played anything I could throw at it. It's a nice drive and VERY lightweight. So light in fact that when it was sitting on my desk as it would spin up the dvd it would turn the drive a little bit. I really don't want to complain that it is lightweight, so I won't, but just be cautious about where you have it placed so that it doesn't move and fall off of something when it is spinning up a disc. I have not done any speed tests and I don't think it will win any awards or impress your friends with how quickly a dvd starts playing, but it is reasonably fast and works very well. Also, as mentioned in the description and other reviews, it only has one standard usb cable and that powers it up and runs the data connection. No need or option for any additional power source and it works great. If you wanted to use an external power source you would need a Y cable to do it, but as long as you don't mind simplicity and functionality this little guy gets the job done.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good DVD player that might have more features than you need
*by K***Z on July 11, 2018*

A very good DVD player that might be more than you need. I like almost everything about this device. As laptops have been steadily trending towards not having a DVD drive anymore, many of us find we need another way to use our DVDs. Enter the portable DVD player. This Samsung version is light, easy to transport, and simple to use. At less than a pound, you can carry this with you virtually anywhere and it won't add any noticeable weight to your bag. The slim design and cord that folds up neatly into the device itself make it a breeze to pack up and transport. Most importantly, it is plug and play; you never have to do anything special to get this DVD player to work. The read capability of this is impressive, as it does indeed successfully read standard DVDs as well as CDs and every version of written and rewritten DVD or CD I've put in it. The truth is, however, that this might actually be more ability than a lot of people need, and at 50 bucks you might want a less advanced model. If you know you are going to be creating your own CDs or DVDs, then this is certainly a good product. But I have had this for several years and have never once used it to create my own, mostly because we all now tend to put stuff on flash drives rather than make permanent copies. Another thing to be aware of is that this is USB 2.0, not 3.0. While plenty of people don't have 3.0 yet, if you want the faster connection, this doesn't have it. Overall this is a very good portable DVD player and I certainly recommend it. But it would probably be best to consider your real needs and ponder if a slightly less advanced model will meet those needs and save you a few bucks.
