5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT DRIVE!, May 27, 2002

By	Tom Fladland (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

Just bought this product and am VERY happpy with it-I was burning CD's in under five minutes. It's small, compact and comes with a nice travel case. It comes with excellent software (Roxio's Easy CD 5.01-XP users will need to download a patch to use the DirectCD part but everything else will work)I would recommend you shop around on the price...

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent burner, January 3, 2003

By	Maneesh Kumar "newance" (Forest Park, IL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have a Dell Inspiron 4000 with a damage usb port, so I bought the adaptec USB2Connect to use with this burner. I followed the simple instructions to install the burner and had no problems. I read the other reviews and expected a carrying case to come with it, but I saw after I bought it that it is an additional accessory for 25 dollars. Overall the product is easy to use and install with Windows 2000 and XP. It may not be the fastest burner, but its size and looks make up for it as an external laptop add-on.

5.0 out of 5 stars so easy, November 8, 2002

By	"beno-i-t" (Greenbelt, MD, USA) - See all my reviews

...I bought the plextor 8x8x24. It was so easy! Just plug it and that's all! It is very light also, and it comes with a carrying case. I had no problems with it, even if I only have USB1.1

It is not the cheapest, but go for it! Easy and light
