5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I needed, January 9, 2007

This review is from: Targus PACMB010U USB 2.0 DVD/CD-RW Slim External Drive (Personal Computers)

No extra AC power cord needed. My DVD player in my laptop went out and the laptop manufacturer wanted $450 for an in-case proprietary replacement. I use the DVD player a lot on the plane and unless I'm in first class, don't have power. This one runs off the USB power. It's very slim and not bulky. Just what I needed. I only have one question. Why don't they sell this thing in computer retail stores. It's a winner!

This review is from: Targus PACD010U USB 2.0 CD-ROM Slim External Drive - Black (Personal Computers)

My Dell desktop cd-drive stopped working and I needed to install Turbotax. I ordered the Targus based upon mostly positive reviews and the fact it didnt need a power cord.

I received the drive in 2 days from Amazon, and from the time I opened the Targus box, I was installing turbotax in less than 60 seconds! The product works as advertised with no hassles at all. Strongly recommend.
