NEW 24x USB external CD-ROM CDROM drive for Acer Aspire One, BLACK

When I got it today, I hooked it up with only one of the USB plugs and it didn't work. DUH! lol I'm not technically inclined. I tried it on two different Acer One Netbooks, one with XP and my newer one with Windows 7, then figured you had to use both things. It worked! Windows recognized it and I didn't have to do anything else! Got my games loaded on my netbooks and a couple other programs I wanted on them.This is small enough to carry in my netbook bag when I go somewhere too, so that is a definite plus. Really worth the price they charge for it.Love it!

It's actually not working with my computer and my computer will tell me the cords are not correct... and when it does work and the computer does recognize the cords... I'll try loading cd's and it doesn't work, then when it does work it doesn't install properly, ends up saying error and uninstalling everything... Not what I expected at all and I feel a waste of my money sorry.

Do not buy this. I bought one for an Acer Aspire One that runs XP, but when I plugged it in it didn't work. Closer looks at it revealed that it had been taken apart (seen from outside, I did not take it apart myself), and some parts were missing (again, seen from outside). It also scratched up any CD I put in it.

I needed this to download software and music to my acer, I would say its a little on the slow side but works great, no problems with the machine not working. Still use it once in awhile when I need to update my itunes library.

I bought it for my tablet PC. I want but it didn't work at all. it powers on, computer see it as an CRrom but does not play any CD. it got an driver CD but I couldn't install it cause it need the CD drive to read it. small price but you get nothing but nervous.

I wanted something inexpensive to load programs in my new Toshiba Satellite notebook. The Acer Aspire 24x speed CD USB external drive arrived quickly and turned out to be a very good buy. I plugged up both USB cords and it worked without any issues loading programs amazingly fast. However, the next time I plugged it up the computer didn't recognize the drive. Swapping ports solved the problem. I loaded in the software which appeared to correct the driver issue. I should have spent the extra money for an external burner to make system back up discs. This product also worked without using the USB power cord.Chaz CAurora, MO

I have a small Acer netbook which is compact and great to carry around at only a few pounds. To attain that size and weight it unfortunately doesn't have a CD drive to enter new programs onto the computer. Staples and other office stores only carried the expensive $80 range CD/DVD/writable, etc. - much more than I need just to put in a program. This small, efficient CD drive was just plug and play easy. And all of this for under $10.!!! Unbelievable! The shipping charge was almost more than the CD drive - still a great deal. What a buy! Good quality and came with all the needed cables. I can't be happier with my purchase.

It's ok. It does not recognize a lot of the cds/dvds that it was purchased for.Limits the work I can do with it.
