For a portable drive this one is the best. It's dirt cheap, plays and writes everything except Blu-Ray (who cares). You do not need to load the optional software if you have Windows Vista or 7.

Yes, it does take two USB ports that are side by side to run. How do you close it without crunching it...you just either put your fingers behind it and slide the disc shut or hold it by the sides with one hand and push the drawer back in. No need to press down on the top of it and crush it but you can put a enough pressure up there too without any problem. Yes it's plastic and could be discontorted if you pushed really hard.

While running a movie it is a bit loud sounding like a tiny fan on high speed but nothing that concerned me.

This will run your laptop/netbook battery down more quickly so it's best for movies while the machine is plugged in.

Bottom line. It's meant to be portable, light, and run everything except Blu-Ray. It does exactly that without fail.

Slim and good! March 9, 2011
Simple and easy to use. Very effective. Highly portable. Like it very much.
Got one of these to use on a desktop that doesn't have a dvd burner. But use it also on my laptop.

Good replacement drive April 11, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
This drive did not require effort to get it installed and worked out of the box. My biggest hang up is that it requires 2 USB ports right next to each other. This may hinder some tablet users. It works very well and is very solid feeling for transport.

Great drive!
Got this for my fiance whose PC has a very slow and uncooperative CD-RW drive. This does everything he would care for it to do, does it fast, and works. Read more

Great item
The item and speed was great. There were a few scratches on the drive, however. It does work though! Overall it was quite a nice product and I'm glad I bought it.

Exactly as Expected... but
Bought at Amazon... was 40% cheaper than at Toshiba's web site ...The DVD Drive is exactly as expected the fact that gets power from the USB is a big plus. Read more

Does not require two USB ports
I use this drive on a Toshiba 10 inch netbook, works fine using only one USB port.

Plays everything
Every disk I've tried plays with no issues. The only issue I've had is the eject button is located right where I always push the drive closed so I have to do it twice. Read more
