Asus SDRW-08D2S-U Lite Portable External DVD Writer - Black

handy product. I still use a burner, they are more reliable that thumb drive. a thumb is much faster than a burner but I still use both for backing up data. the software that comes with the drive is out of date a newer version is available I don't use it for that reason. I have my own brand of burning software which I have used for years. reliable product this is my second one. it sits a little low on the desk for me, the drawer what's to drag a bit, so I take small round plastic circles and stuck them on the bottom that helps. comes with a split y cable which is really to short to be of practical use could be a little longer for those who don't side ports.have usb 3 ports on my computer only use one cable. as far as the product goes I would buy it again this is my ... Morehandy product.

DVD/CD Re-Writer.I was looking for a burner as my new laptop did not come with one and after looking around to see what was on offer I opted for this oneThe drive is compact and looks cool, it comes with two USB cables and bundled softwareThe drive was easy to set up but to be honest you are better not installing the software as it's crippled.The item cable could do with being longer as s due to my laptop's layout I couldn't sit the drive beside the laptop.After talking with support they have me several options which they said would sort things out,I had to buy two cables in the end and I am set to go.I have burned a couple of DVDs without problem.I am very happy with my purchase and I would recommend this product.One last thing the drive works with Windows ... MoreDVD/CD Re-Writer.I was looking for a burner as my new laptop did not come with one and after looking around to see what was on offer I opted for this oneThe drive is compact and looks cool, it comes with two USB cables and bundled softwareThe drive was easy to set up but to be honest you are better not installing the software as it's crippled.The item cable could do with being longer as s due to my laptop's layout I couldn't sit the drive beside the laptop.After talking with support they have me several options which they said would sort things out,I had to buy two cables in the end and I am set to go.I have burned a couple of DVDs without problem.I am very happy with my purchase and I would recommend this product.One last thing the drive works with Windows 11 without any problems.

After having to return a similar LG product because it wouldn’t work with my Mac mini having Apple silicon- I tried this one. I haven’t burned anything yet, but I’ve copied some files. I can use software to open the drawer, but I have to manually close it. Can ASUS provide a firmware update for macOS Sonoma 14.1.2 (current version). I really don’t want to return this one either and go to yet another competitor. Thanks!
