Targus DVD Review 
2008-08-24
It works very well, but the USB connectors can come out easily if you move your laptop around. Very portable and handy.
Targus CD ROM Review 
2008-05-09
Good value for the price.
Only drawback is that my laptop could not supply
enough power for the drive to work reliably, even
with power from 2 USB ports. Had to buy an external
power adapter to supply power to the drive.
Performs as Advertised 2008-05-02
The CD drive on my six year old Dell pooped out for no apparent reason and rather than spend big money to replace or fix it or replace the entire system, I tried this as a quick fix. It works fine and saved me time, money and stress.I made a good choice and am very pleased.
WORKS GREAT! 2008-04-06
I had never used an external cd drive before. I had no problems what-so-ever. Would definitely suggest this product to friends.
CD ROM 2008-03-28
Exactly what I expected. A CD-ROM with a USB adapter. Plug-n-play went seamlessly. Great product, great price, great value.
Using in 60 seconds 2008-02-12
Easily connect the Targus USB 2.0 DVD/CD-ROM Slim External Drive (no additional software needed) through your USB port and enjoy instant access to DVDs and CDs. As an added benefit this drive features a pass-through connector so you can use a second USB device with your notebook, Tablet PC or desktop PC. Sleek and lightweight (less than a pound), this DVD/CD-ROM Slim External Drive also eliminates carrying around additional AC adapters since it's powered directly by your USB port.
Excellent Functionality 2008-02-08
This device does exactly what I wanted. I own a HP tc4200 tablet pc that came without a dvd drive. This addition has enabled me to completely close the gap and it is extremely portable and convenient for travel. I strongly recommend.

Too Bad It Doesn't Play DVDs 
2008-01-14
As a CD RW, it's fine, probably 4 stars. But like a fool, I read the reviews and two of the highest ratings came from people who that they were replacing DVD drives with this Targus CD-ROM.
One implied that he has watched movies while on plane trips. If so, it wasn't a video that he'd bought. I inferred that. Another said that his laptop DVD went out on him, and he replaced it with this. Again, I inferred that he could also use it for watching DVDs.
Now I'll return this, and take my lumps because I'm not spending more than $83 to watch a DVD and all my CD drives work just fine.
Think before buy 2007-12-03
This is a too expensive product. You should think how many times you may use it before you buy it. Actually, I bought it 2 months ago and used only 2 times. Maybe, it is better to buy CD/DVD reader instead of burner (writer).
