Portable and external CD/DVD Drive
Decent little disc drive 4 out of 5
I purchased the Toshiba DVD-writer to load my CDs onto my netbook's iTunes, and it works fantastically. When ripping and burning CDs, it's very easy to use. However, I tried to rip a DVD onto my netbook with it, and could not for the life of me figure out how to.
Great external laptop DVD drive 5 out of 5
This drive does exactly what you'd expect it to, very reliably and very quickly. The look perfectly matches the look of the Toshiba Satellite laptop we purchased it for. As others have stated, be aware that it does require 2 USB ports to function (presumably 1 for data and 1 for power). However, since most laptops these days have a plethora of USB ports, this should not be a problem for most users. We'd highly recommend this external DVD drive.
Toshiba PA 3761U-1DV2 4 out of 5
I needed this product to be able to install software in my Toshiba Netbook. It was very easy to understand and use and performed to my full expectation.
An Ideal and Terrific DVD-Writer with DVD-RAM capability. 5 out of 5
This small, versatile DVD and CD writer Does about every kind of disk-writing, including DVD-RAM, which is getting hard to find. I noticed that one store had a Toshiba unit similar to this which did not have DVD-RAM, and the price was not lower. So be sure you're getting a Toshiba PA3761U-1DV2 Portable/Slim USB SuperMulti DVD-Writer, with the DVD-RAM logo among those on it. This unit works quite well without an A/C adapter. It draws enough power through the USB cable that comes with it. I am thoughly pleased with this unit. It takes up very little space in my carry bag and does everything well.
A good buy for your money 4 out of 5
This external DVD drive was easy to use and is lightweight and portable. I am not very technically savvy and this DVD drive was a BREEZE to use. They must have corrected the issues with the serial number because it was listed in multiple places on the one I just purchased. My computer even detected it and installed the proper drivers without me ever having to open the disk that came with it. I highly recommend this device if you are looking for good value for the price and easy of use. It couldn't have been simpler.
