Brainydeal GDVDR1B Review by Chimp Chimperson "Chimp Chimperson" (Buffalo, NY USA)

I bought this to use with my Asus 904ha netbook. It works great! It is plug and play with XP, just as the other reviewers said. It's thin and light for easy travel. Powered off of your USB, which is very cool. It burns and plays CDs and DVDs just fine. And it was super cheap, too!

I have also used it on other computers running on Vista. It worked fine on those as well.

The directions included are pretty much incomprehensible (very poorly translated...in fact it was kind of comical) But, that didn't matter, since it worked as soon as I plugged it in. And it also included a disc with drivers. Again, it wasn't needed.

I'd recommend this product. In fact, I might even buy another.

Brainydeal GDVDR1B Review by TechnicalDude (Midwest)

The drive would not play DVDs on my Acer Aspire One as it said Codecs were needed. I looked around the internet and after reading several tech support boards, downloaded K-lite Mega Codecs and was able to get the drive to operate. It came with some foreign-titled software (??) that I did not use. Windows XP did recognize the drive, but without downloading the needed Codecs, the drive would not have worked for playing DVDs.

It is VERY slow when writing to DVD. Much slower than the claimed 8X speed.

Brainydeal GDVDR1B Review by jelarv "jelv" (Riverside, CT USA)

I purchased this based on the positive feedback at Amazon.com, but it worked irratically with my laptop which is only one week old and running Vista. The device wasn't plug-and-play. Instead I needed to have the driver disk in the drive when plugging it in and then Vista had to find the drive and install it. About 50% of the time the computer recognized the drive and about 50% it didn't, which required reboots until it recognized it. Unfortunately the product documentation is almost non-existant (a 3x4 one-sided index card) and there's no reference to a website for help. The disk door didn't close smoothly and needed a bit of a push which suggested to me poor workmanship or materials.
