Overall the drive perform well except for the cable problem on the one Thinkpad which is only two months old.
Since two of my laptops lacked an optical drive, I needed an external optical drive to boot my imaging software for backups to an external hard drive. Overall Review: * I was primarily looking for a low cost drive to do occasional hard drive images of my laptops. On my other Thinkpad, the cable has a little wiggle, but no connection problems. The same ports have a snug plug fit when using my wireless mouse or external hard drive and no tensioning is needed. On my newer Thinkpad the plug has a little looseness in the USB ports so the laptop has difficulty recognizing the drive unless I put a little upward tension on the cable.
* Data cable end that plugs into computer's USB port could have a tighter fit. * Current pricing makes it an affordable purchase.Ĭons: * Gloss finish really shows the fingerprints. * Includes additional utility disk that includes disk encryption and burning software.
