There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I downloaded the recommended video player and figured out how to get it set to region 1 after only a few hours. But how to get the dvds to play was harder because when you go to "open" with the downloaded player and look at the files on the dvd, there are just a bunch of files inside two main files, video or sound, and you can't tell which one of the many files to click on.
I have messed things up by clicking on the wrong files before! But I finally decided to try just opening the file that says videos and clicking on the first file inside it. That did it. Then the video came up, and I could use the laptop to make it go to special features or else to play the movie, no problem. I only tried this with two movies, both of which are fairly recent movies, so I don't know if it works well with older ones, but hopefully it does.
Pros and Cons:
It's nice that the cord to use for attaching it to the laptop and playing the videos is attached to the video player, because it would be hard to lose. However, the front of the player seems pretty flimsy. I am hoping it won't break if I am really careful.
If I have any trouble in the future, I will post information about it in this review.
They seem to be all similarly priced. I went through many product descriptions looking for one that would seem to do the job I needed it for and work with my HP laptop. My laptop has a 2.0 and a 3.1 USB port, so when I saw that this was compatible with both, I went with it. I also liked that they had an option other than black. I would loved to have had a more fun color, something that makes it stand out a bit from all my other electronics, but at least they have white as an option. I thought I would add some colorful and fun decals stickers to it, and the white background would make it pop out a bit.
Super easy to use. I just plugged it in and tried out both a CD and a DVD, and both worked fine. I LOVE that the USB cable tucks into a spot underneath when not in use. The cord is short (8"-9" roughly), and is attached, but is perfect for a laptop. It's slim profile makes it easy to fit anywhere. I have an old CD holder case to store it in if I want to. Perfect.
So far so good, if anything changes I will be back to update. Hope this helped! Take care :)

Installation was a breeze - a plug-and-play that really did. The system didn't even stutter in recognizing it, and it came to life as soon as I plugged it in. None of my software has balked at using it.
In short, I was looking for a simple, functional solution to my occasional need for an optical drive on my thin laptop without having to ramp up for a *project* to get it set up. So I'm a happy guy.
The only things I'd call attention to is that the Type A USB cable attached to the unit (non-removable) is only about 8", so unless you have some space close to your system USB port, you may want to add a USB 3.0 extension cable (B083DGV46V or equivalent) to your order. Also, when deciding where to connect this external drive, note that it will require a *powered* USB port. There is no provision on the drive for an external power supply.
