 Only works on a flat surface...a REALLY flat surface!Sep 09, 2009
This DVD player worked O.K. at first, but after storing in my laptop case for a few weeks, it stopped working right. I thought it was totally broken, but I found out it still worked only if I placed in on a flat surface. That sounds reasonable, except that most of my desk surface doesn't seem to be flat enough. It usually takes somewhere between 6 and 10 tries, moving the unit around, until it finds a good enough "spot" to start reading the disk. Weirdest thing I've ever seen! I can't carry around with my netbook, since it is so ridiculously finicky. I do not recommend.

 Terrific productJul 04, 2009
My netbook - while full-featured - doesn't have an optical drive. For an exceedingly reasonable price, this external drive has been perfect for me. It's powered through the USB port, so no additional power cord. It works - what else can (need I)I say?
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Jun 21, 2009
The second it came in my xp downloaded it sucsessfully. The guy who told you it doesn't work on XP or Vista lied. i tried it on both.

DOA # 2Apr 02, 2009
Maybe it's hit or miss with this brand since some have had a good experience but, I couldn't get it work with my Dell Netbook (the item I bought it for) or my HP Pavilion desktop (I tested it on that to see if maybe the problem was just with the Dell). Both computers would recognize it just fine ("New hardware has been installed") and it would show up in Explore as its own separate drive. However, whenever I inserted a disk (didn't matter what kind; commercial, homemade, blank, full of data) the same thing would always happen. The green light would flash, I could hear the disk spinning in the drive, and the computer would to try to launch it but then after a few seconds I'd get the same message over and over again, "Please insert a disk." ???? Nothing I tried worked. It is going back today.
I actually work just down the street from Dekcell in Fremont, CA. (I'm tempted to just take it right to their front door and save the postage!) It's a shame too. I purposely decided to "buy American" from a local vendor to try to help out the economy and my own community. A "win-win" right? Wrong. You can bet my next attempt at finding an external drive will be with a reliable Japanese brand I've purchased in the past.

DOA - dead on arrival. The one I purchased through a Amazon seller would not be recognized on 3 different PCs - either win2k, XP or Vista. That was a good 2 hours wasted.
