(More customer reviews)Ya get what you pay for... I bought this optical drive to input data into my netbook that does not have a CD drive. I keep my music on the netbook and want to rip CDs into iTunes. The drive comes in a box with two cables, a micro "USB driver" CD and a tiny card (written in Chinese and improper English)that is called a "manual." I tried following the instructions in the manual to set the unit up for use and it was impossible to do so. The manual has nothing to do with installation of this devise. After a couple hours of trial and error, I wrote Amazon and asked if there might be a website where I could download a correct driver. They sent back a form email about reading the manual and contacting the manufacturer. I laughed. Not only is the "manual" useless but there is NO manufacturer's name on the unit or in the manual. Since I am dedicated to adding to my iTunes music catalog, I went back to the task of making the drive usable. After another hour or two Windows miraculously found a driver on the micro CD (No, I do not know how it happened, it just did.)and installed it. Encouraged, I used trial and error to find the correct cable to use (of the two sent)and plugged the USB cable directly into the USB port (without using a port expander)and the drive works! I have now ripped 75 CDs into iTunes and am a happy camper. If you have the time to mess around with installation, this drive provides basic service. If your time is precious, spend more money for a drive from a solid manufacturer.
