And that is the important thing, as the motor died in the onboard burner in my laptop. But it scared me, as it is not compatible with all burner software (but then again, no burner ever is).
External Usb2.0 Slim Portable Dvd/cd For Macbook Pro
Works fine with Cyberlink's Desktop Burning Gadget, but failed with Daemon Tools Ultra and Nero. As I found software that works, I haven't tried the other four disc burning software platforms installed on my computer.
Only real downside is the much slower burning speed limited by the USB connection, as it feels like I'm waiting around for like an hour for the burn to complete LOL. I'll definitely be buying a few more as spares over the next year. Works, but not so good Not sure what to say, the item was only $13.00 so maybe you do get what you pay for. I had trouble getting it to open the front tray after plugging everything in as described.
The yellow light just kept flashing and when the eject button was pressed, it tried to open (you could hear it) but it just wouldn't open. So I unplugged it and tried the pinhole release and it opened. Plugged it back in, it read the cd, started playing a song -and stopped.
It then would not open again. It seems it works, but you have to keep messing with it and i'm not sure its worth the effort of shipping back, waiting for a replacement, etc. Purchase at your own risk I guess:(.
