Review: Easy to use and plug and play! - This ASUS LITE portable USB DVD burner is a fantastic product. It’s one of the few that are plug-in. Play with Windows 11. No drivers needed. This is my second of these ASUS burners. They just work so well!
Review: Works well for the price. - FYI I wanted a basic CD writer to use with a recent mini-computer purchase. This has been working great for that use. It is somewhat "light weight" and I use a light touch when opening and closing it. Functionally it is working fine for the simple tasks I have used it for. Haven't had any issues writing or reading discs. It has a split cable so that you can use a second usb port for extra power. However, it has been working for me with only one usb port connected. The ~24" cable is rather short. I trusted the ASUS name and am happy so far with the drive for the price paid

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible Disc Player/Writer
*by H***N on June 9, 2025*

This thing is amazing. For how cheap it is, it does exactly everything I need. It copies my music CDs, it plays DVDs, and it requires no drivers. I have a 2025 MacBook Air M4 15”. People say it’s fragile, but it’s just like every other disc drive. I’ve been using disc players since 1992 and had the 1996 Magnavox portable CD player. It “feels” flimsy, because it cost $20. Having the hidden USB-C cord was an absolute gem of an idea. Noise levels: it’s as noisy as any other disc player I have ever used. It has no internal stabilizer or inertial dampen system. If you want all those bells and whistles, you going to spend $100+ of a disc driver. You might as well just buy their Blu-Ray burner at that price. For how tiny it is, it’s phenomenal. It’s thinner than my MacBook Air. I haven’t tried to burn CDs or DVDs yet, so I can’t speak on that parts. All I know is that it rips CDs without fail. Maybe if I get my music collection back I can make a meme CD and put it in a museum.
