I bought a mini netbook from a friend, but no cdrom. So came online and searched to land on amazon.com with this. At 1st i wonder will it work? So i took the chance and behold it worked wonderfully. I have a Hp 1116nr netbook, i plug the 2 usb cable in and poped Win Xp into the drive 1st boot up i was installing windows. I would recommend this to anyone with a type of netbook. If you useing it to install windows like i was, just make sure you know how to set the boot up for cd-rom. The only down side is it uses up 2 usb ports. 1 for power and other for drive, other then that it worked great.

1.0 out of 5 stars Defective product, August 11, 2010

Although the seller was very quick in mailing out the item, the product itself was defective. I checked reviews when I first purchased it and everyone was very pleased. Sadly, when I had problems with the drive, I found that the most recent reviews indicated non-working products. Perhaps this was just the time of year for defective batches.

I contacted the seller and was told to send the drive back (stupid me I did not notice that my child had left her Sims2 CD in it after she couldn't get it to work). Unfortunately, I had to pay for shipping it back which was almost as much as the drive cost in the first place AND I lost our CD.

I would have to say that it is not really worth it to risk purchasing this item.

This works well. It doesn't play DVDs, so if that's what you are looking for, keep moving. But other than that, it's extremely easy to use. Just plug and play.
