    This drive does all it says it will. I didn't find it too power-hungry as some have said (I didn't even have to use the second USB cord for extra power and this was with a netbook). The only negative I can find is that all the portability comes at the price of sturdiness. When loading a CD/DVD, it takes a couple of attempts to close the case since the door provides much of the rigidness of the case and you have to wiggle it a bit to get it to close. This doesn't seem to affect the operation, though.

      Didn't have to use the extra cable for USB power with my HP Netbook, single cable for data and power off one port was enough.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

            Needed to add this to my Acer Nettop to install XBMC on. Plugged it in, and away it went! Besides the USB cable, there is also a USB power cable to use (if needed). Also comes in handy when an additional drive is needed on my home PC's.

              Very portable. Purchased drive to backup and load software on previously purchased netbook. Have only used to copy MyDocuments to DVD as backup. The process required one USB cable. Software could have been a little more robust.
