Doesn't work
I bought this at Micro Center yesterday and it won't play a DVD. Can't find any help on ASUS website.

External Slim DVD-rw
As my new Asus laptop didn't have a DVD drive, I bought this unit as it was the same brand of my laptop and the price was very attractive.
Works as expected.

Easily worth the money!
This is an excellent drive. It writes fast and I have not had a single write error. The only downside to drive is that it doesn't work with DVD RAM. But that was my fault I should have asked about that feature.
