Does this drive read DVD RAM discs?

According to the manual it can, at 5X speed (same for write.) However, in "AV Mode," where you connect it to a "smart TV" with a USB connector, the DVD-RAM disks will not work there (nor will Blu-Ray DVDs, I assume.)

Not really. It reads usb drive. Maybe that's what's sort of smart about it.

I used the system profiler to check mine. I believe you can right click and select get info to see the specifics of the drive as well

Yes it does! I don't know why it is not listed. I bought an external DVD drive and had to return it.

I have only used it to read some old 3M and TDK disks that had data on them but it worked like a champ on everything I have tried.

I never thought to try those disks, but I just tried a music CD and it played fine. I don't have any music DVDs to try, but my guess would be it plays them also. It obviously does play movie DVDs.

Yes, put either dvd or cd in and it will figure out which disc you have loaded and play it.

I reads CD's and DVD's. I have not tried its writing capabilities but according to the manual it can.

It will play DVD's. . .but has no floppy. I bought a plug in floppy which works pretty good. For the price, its a fairly good computer. I bought it for my office data storage. Couldn't be the price. My local Dell refurb shop would have sold it for $ 400+.

I don't have one of those discs, but I'm sure it will read it, just as if it were an internal disc drive.

it says it does, but i have been unable to get it to recognize my light scribe disc's. i went through two of the drives. the seller is FANTASTIC. just apparently not the drive.

If you mean a drive to read cd/DVDs , then yes. It only has a flash drive .

I'm not quite sure exactly what you mean. The device driver will install automatically when you first plug it into the USB port. If you're asking if it can read software discs, yes it will read both CD and DVD formats for software.

Sorry no. It's just a standard DVDRW drive that's in-built. At least my particular model's is in-built.

Yes, it reads and writes dual layer blu-ray discs. I use mainly Verbatim DVD and Blu-ray DL

Yes. As it states it comes with "Optical drive: 16x DVD+RW" which lets you read CDs and DVDs and also lets you write on DVD+R and DVD+RW discs. It just looks like it has no DVD drive because it is behind a blank black faceplate. But the little black space to the right is the open/close button.

thanx for posting this.. i have no idea why, and I just bought one.. so I'm going to check my dvd/cd drive too! Also, is your drive partitioned correctly? My D drive had more gigs than C..
