I originally went to buy one that was an advertised special but it didn't write discs, only read. I was disappointed. Didn't even realize they still made read-only drives. But this "burner" was not much more. It's a little bigger than the ROM drive but reasonably small. I was pleasantly surprised that on the two machines I used it with, it was able to run from just one USB connection though I still used two to burn, just to make sure I didn't create a toaster.
There isn't really any setup required, just plug it in. I didn't install the software, but from previous experience, NTI works fine.

      Comments about I/O Magic I/OMagic 8x Portable Slim DVD-RW:

      I was looking for a very in-expensive way to get an external dvd/cd reader/burner. This product is amazing and what I was looking for. It does come with Nero but you really don't need it if you have your own burning programs. It is really fast and effective for the things I needed it for my work. This device is awesome!!!!!

              I purchased a 10 inch mini laptop with no internal DVD. The I/O Magic 8X performs as if it were built in and does not seem to overstress the 25W power supply in the mini.

                The product description does not state that this drive is compatible with Linux (Ubuntu), but it is. The product box does make this statement if you can find it. I purchased this as the only drive I use to load software directly onto my Dell Mini 9 running Ubuntu 8.04. I plugged it in to the USB port and had immediate access to the drive. I have not yet burned a DVD yet, but I expect that will work fine.

                  Needed a CD/DVD drive for my Lenovo laptop in order to load software. Was expecting to find higher-priced bulky drive with power supply. Instead found this little power house with just a USB cable. Great bargain. Now, I'm watching DVDs on my laptop too.

                  My laptop does not provide sufficient power thru one USB port, so yours probably will not, either! You need to purchase the Y-cable or external power supply, available from I/O Magic's website. I thought it came in the package, as it did with my Maxtor external harddrive. Nope!
