Product is as advertised, received on-time, as priced. Wish all internet vendors performed in this manner.

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. Now it sometimes works and sometime does not. It is the first item that I have bought through Amazon that i have been really disappointed with


5 out of 5 stars Lucky find, it's region-free   December 30, 2009

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!! What a lucky find!! 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. Thank you Targus!

This drive has very few pros and cons. For a positive aspect, it is small and light. For a negative aspect... it doesn't work. At least not for me. It was able to read four or five CDs, but nothing since. 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. Same with DVDs many times. It's unreliable and usually doesn't work at all. I could probably return it, but I've already ordered another model that will (hopefully) actually do what it's supposed to.
