 Low quality construction, broken in a monthJul 10, 2005
By S. Lee
At first use, cd burned fine & read fine. After travelling by airplane, with cd burner packed in hand luggage (i.e. carry-on) and well packed (wrapped in thick sweater, put in middle of bag), cd would not burn (would not recognize blank CD-R on insertion), and would not read pre-written cds. It does, however, still read DVDs, but that is all.
This is presumably a consequence of poor quality design & construction; design looks slick, but in such a slim package, the components must not have been solidly secured. Recall also reading Amazon reviews of Lacie Porsche designed hard drives experiencing similar complete hardware failures.

 Good product, no problems.Sep 15, 2005
By Larry D. Madill Jr.
Does what it promises, and looks slick doing it. My only quibble with it is that it basically works like a Laptop CD Burner, with the flip out/ pull out tray. I would have preferred a "traditional" style loader.

I'm very pleased!!Mar 01, 2006

The design and functionality are great, but it's very delicate, so you have to be careful to handle this with lots of care!!
Cheap, slow, flimsy.Oct 22, 2008
By Mayor Bloomburger
I needed an external optical drive that my Toshiba M200 would recognize as a boot disk. For my needs, this was the only name-brand drive I could buy from a reputable dealer with fast shipping in the $100 range. The reason these are still in stock is because they are a shoddy, terrible product.
The place where you lock on the disk inside is razor-thin, the drive is noisy and ugly, and using it as boot disk for XP only worked after a nail-biting second try. I'll be gently packing this back in it's box and storing it in my closet for the next time I need a boot disk (hopefully never).
As far as a sleek, plug and play external USB optical drive that is sturdy and fast, I recommend the Sony DRX-S70U. Too bad I can't use it as a boot disk though!
Bad news -- Cannot boot from this deviceJul 15, 2006
By Rip Doff
I bought this drive for my Fujitsu P1510D Tablet PC which does not have an internal CDROM, and thus requires an external CDROM to reinstall the operating system. The Fujitsu supports booting from an external USB CDROM, but after being unable to boot from this device, I was informed by LaCie Tech Support that this CDROM does not support booting from it! There was no disclosure of this limitation in the sales literature or user guide. I am going to try to get my money back. It ticks me off that one has to think like a lawyer to keep from getting shafted by so many corporations these days.
