5.0 out of 5 stars Nice drive - no AC power needed., June 16, 2009
Smooth operation; don't need to lug around another AC power supply; very nice package with slim black case.

Runs on USB power and works fine with Ubuntu, good quality quick burner. The drive comes with two cables, one for USB and one for additional power. I have not had to use the second cable yet and in research have found that it is only needed if your USB ports are "underpowered."

Well worth the cost in my opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect For My Acer Aspire One Netbook, June 14, 2009
I purchased this for my Acer Aspire One netback, after much research. It is well made, small (about the size of a CD case with a width of about 2 cases), and does not require external power. It uses up to two usb plugs for extra power from your netbook. Even the disc door is powered from the computer.

One drawback is that it only writes to DVD-R or DVD-RW discs. It will not write to DVD+R or DVD+RW. This is not that big of a deal--just buy "-" disks to write to. It's a netbook so I do not have a lot of use for a DVD burner on the computer, anyway, other than to make system restore disks and to occasionally install software from a disc. When I travel with the netbook, I do not want to lug around anything other than the computer and cords. I put it in a slim netbook sleeve and it is like carrying a book.

During my research, I almost purchased a drive that did not have a burner. Be careful and make sure you get all of the features you need. This one is perfect for my uses, and the price was right.

5.0 out of 5 stars It DOES write to DVD+R discs, July 22, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
One of the reviews notes that this burner will not write to DVD+R or DVD+R/W discs. I just finished writing 2 recovery discs for my new Toshiba-NB205 using DVD+R discs.
Very nice little gadget. I was able to load new software from it and watched a couple of movies with it too.
