 Slim and slick-- UPDATED-- total CRAP!!Nov 30, 2007
By Mind Reader

I plugged this into my laptop XP and it started up in seconds. Perfect.
Really slim and tight. Sweet.
I got this for my Samsung Q1 Ultra. Awesome.
So this drive can be bus powered or take power from the included AC adapter. For those like me who are a less technically inclined "bus-powered" means that the drive will be powered through the USB cable when you plug it into the computer. That's good if you want to use it with your portable devices because then you will be free from having to deal with another cord (a power cord). The downside to that, of course, is that it will draw power and make your battery life much shorter if your computer unit is running only on batteries.
But you want bus powered! More convenient. This guy will do that. But can also can be plugged into the wall.
UPDATE 2/8/09-- Replaced it- it never would write to dvd or cd, I just never noticed it because it used it only for reading dvds or cds, never writing. TOTAL CRAP!!

 Good Idea -- Flimsy quality.Mar 11, 2008
By Juan Estrada
Well First of all, if you buy a slim drive most likelly its because you plan to carry it around but the case of this drive is just too weak. if you hold it by the top to close the drive, the plastic is so weak it bends down preventing the drive from closing. The drive inside it was a Sony drive, but for some reason, it WONT read CDRW disks unless you use the external AC adapter (tried with several systems and all possible solutions found in forums including firmware updates). Now some good things: basically no problem to get it recognized by XP, Very quiet operation (considering other laptop drives i've heard). Conclusion: Not recomended unless you are a very very careful person and dont want to use it to write or read cds (DVDs work great)

Same as other customer. Ive struggled for weeks now, to make this drive work on my Sony Vaio w/ WinXP. Same error, "USB device not recognized or malfunctioned." Ive tried every drive I could find on the planet, to no avail. And BrilliantMedia's web site is no help. Giving up.

would be great, if....Feb 26, 2008
By J. Erb

I bought this affordable drive and tried to use it on my XP laptop at home and my XP desktop at work. Both have all the recent service packs and updates, but the device will not start. Plug and Play reports it as an unknown usb device.
I'm going to have to send it back. I'd go with a recognized Plug and Play compliant manufacturer.
