What is the difference between this device and the "SANOXY Slim Portable USB 2.0 External CD-RW/DVD Combo Drive"? Thanks

CD-ROM Drive can use for installation is just like downloading and I think CD-RW/DVD Drive is a rewritable like a burn CD/DVD which can be recorder

I believe the drive is powered by legacy usb 2.0 standard interface. The other end of the connector is usb 3.0 peripheral interface.

The External USB DVD+RW, RW Super Drive is. 100% comparable with all apple pc's.

No, need to buy online, not so expensive for a slim CD/DVD/Blu-Ray combo drive, if u want to a Blu-Ray writer drive, a bit more spending would be nicer...:)

This is a desktop optical drive. Buy a external usb dvd drive if you want something external.

I have windows vista and onlydvd/cd drives. I used the external USB 1.44 to read disks I've had for years. It did the job I needed it to do. It did not read all the information on the disks as software has changed for the software I used back then.

Sorry, I have no idea. I can say that I am very satisfied with mine. It is fast and well built and did I say it is fast!! Works much faster than any thumb drives I own on 2.0 or 3.0

Sorry, I have no idea what you are asking me about, all I can tell you is that this drive works with a USB port, other than that, I can't help you :(

They claim it is a USB3, I even questioned them about it, but it does not seem to work any faster than a USB2. It does use a USB cable. It is a good drive and is probably limited by its read-write specs.

I purchased a peripheral dvd/cd drive which happens to be made by Asus for thirty dollars. Also, thumb drives are pretty inexpensive and I also have a 2 terabyte back up drive. This unit is fast and remember text files are relatively small. It's the programs, pics and vids that eat up the storage for me.

It requires 2.. One for power and one for data, but honestly look at a different drive these really suck.. The Asus Slim drives are only $10 more and are guaranteed to work every time on all versions of Mac, Linux, Windows, and Chrome Os, and they read/write CD's and DVD's not just CD's like this POS.

I looked in the packaging and in the materials in the box and I couldn't find the distinction. With it being an external drive and transferring at the speed of USB 3... In not sure that will matter a whole lot unless you planned on cracking it open and installing the drives to your PC. I'm sure this can be found out on WD's website. My guess is its 5,400 due to the cost of the device being so low. As soon as I got the device I copied almost a terabyte of my baby pictures to it and it didn't seem slow an it wouldn't be often if move that quantity of data until I replace it.

Amazon have been sending me the WD20EARS-00MVWB0!If you do buy it, please buy it thru my Amazon Store, its the same price and I get a small kickback from the sale.http://astore.amazon.com/brisperpag-20/detail/B002ZCXK0IGreat drive btw, use this for my main data partition and for an external backup drive on many servers.

The box is plain cardboard; the DVD device itself doesn't say either. However, USB is typically 500mah maximum, and so far I haven't had any trouble using the DVD while the same unpowered hub has 7 other bus-powered devices connected, so it can't be TOO close to the maximum draw or things wouldn't work reliably. Also, there's a warning that if it's not sufficiently powered, burning speed may slow down (not fail), which mine has never done -- I get full speed with everything that reports a speed, and so far zero "coasters". AND NO, THIS DEVICE DOES ***NOT*** REQUIRE TWO CONNECTIONS. It has the ABILITY to take two connections, which is dubious because on MANY USB busses, all ports are actually the same electrical power connection. I have NEVER used the power cable on this drive at all -- Along with the tiny portable size, the single data cable, not needing additional external power, is one of my favorite features!

I use this to replace my broken dvd/cd drive on my old desktop computer. Burning videos and transferring photos to cd or dvd is performed by the software on your computer, not the drive. This new slim USB 2.0's function is merely to launch whatever disc you insert in it. After that, your computer does the rest.

THANK YOU! I've never heard of an external DVD/CD-ROM drive so I truly appreciate the advice! Thank you!!

I have the small form factor (SFF) version. It comes with a very slim SATA DVD-ROM drive.
