It is the first item that I have bought through Amazon that i have been really disappointed with Now it sometimes works and sometime does not. I was very disappointed with this product. When I plugged it in to my PC it overloaded the USB power and when I tried to buy a power supply from Targus, I was told that they no longer supplied them and I had to buy one from a third party source at twice the price plus an exorbitant shipping fee.
I can now play European or Asian PAL DVDs in addition to any US NTSC ones, without any additional software, and without purchasing another expensive product. What a lucky find. Thank you Targus. I purchased this item about a year ago and while I'm not super fond of the two cables and the way they sit kinda horizontal to each other out of the ports, I know that it allows the DVD-player to not need external power and I figured, okay fine it does its job, no problem. Until that is, I discovered the other day, that the player is region free.
It's unreliable and usually doesn't work at all. Same with DVDs many times. I've tried at least another dozen, and there's always an error message saying Windows can't read from the disc, or that there IS no CD in the drive.
For a positive aspect, it is small and light. At least not for me. This drive has very few pros and cons.
It was able to read four or five CDs, but nothing since. I could probably return it, but I've already ordered another model that will (hopefully) actually do what it's supposed to. For a negative aspect.
it doesn't work.
Works fine off just the USB, but has the ability to be plugged into the wall. I especially like the rubberized coating, keeps it from sliding around and I imagine offers a little more protection if knocked or dropped. Purchased this drive at the same time with my Aspire One. The targus is small, quiet and performs as advertised.
It has disc drive errors and has to be shut down occasionally, but not too much. The disc drive works.
