I feel like I could throw this package in a backpack and it would be fine. The box it comes in is still only about 2 inches thick and has foam support, so the drive is very secure in there. Here's my solution - keep all the packaging. I expected this from a drive listed as "slim", so I'm not surprised. Simple, but nice.Ĭonstruction: Yes, as some reviews point out, the construction of the drive is a bit flimsy. Unfortunate, but this is a TV problem, not a Drive problem.Īppearance: It doesn't look fancy, but the matte finish makes it look clean. Unfortunately, my TV apparently doesn't read from the USB input. I just connected the USB cord and was able to use it right away without loading the software from disk.
This works just fine for everyday mild use.Įase of use: Its very easy to set up. The only thing is it took longer to finish burning (using iTunes). I already ripped disk and burned two, and it was just as fast as I expected. It works just as fast as anything you'll get standard on a laptop. Overall Review: I received this yesterday, but let me give my first impressions.įunction: Some reviews say it's to read/write. Pros: Easy to use, looks good, portable, speed, TV connectivity. I've yet to use M-DISC in this drive, but it's holding up very well to my demands of it so far. I've never sent writing to it at max speed, which is a common failure of many optical drives, which is also a fact that many people don't understand. This drive reads and writes everything I've asked of it, and does it well. USB connections after that point provide suitable power for connected devices such as this. There is no need to use the included Y-adapter cable to use this drive, unless you're using it with a USB 1.0 system. I have booted multiple variants of Windows and Linux LiveCDs/DVDs from this drive, and all have performed without any failure. You simply need to set your computer's BIOS to be bootable from a USB device. Why would that surprise anyone?Ĭontrary to a previous review, this drive IS bootable, for current Windows and Linux CD/DVDs. Yes, its a drive form-factor which is commonly found in laptop computers. If you buy it, you should already know its limitations, and not derail it by nature of it's size. Overall Review: I can't imagine why anyone would review this drive as an extremely fragile device, because it is, by nature. *Burns everything within its capabilities
