 if I had of known August 27, 2010

I thought I was getting a great deal. But I could have gotten something for half the cost that has writing capabilities. This is just a DVD-Rom, not a DVD writer, rw. I shouldn't buy things when I'm drunk.
 works only about 20-30% of the time, and not on Windows 7 July 6, 2010

Does not work at all for Window 7, just like an earlier review stated (currently using an Alienware M11x laptop)
I had an older laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad) running Windows XP, and for this computer, it would read CD's about 20-30% of the time. The rest of the CD's, the Targus would make some initial noise, then stop. Tried unplugging and replugging the Targus with the same results. Often times, I'd have to go to a computer at work to extract files off a CD, then load them onto a flash drive and use the flash drive to download files onto my computer, thanks to the Targus' failure to read CD's. If I was trying to download a program, then I'd be out of luck. I can't think of any other piece of hardware that has been so agonizingly frustrating as this one.
Not compatible with Windows 7 May 28, 2010

This is a nice external drive and works well with Windows XP or Vista. However, it does NOT work with Windows 7. If you have a computer using Windows 7 or if you plan to upgrade to Windows 7 then this is not the drive for you.
Most reviews for a totally different product! This is not a CD drive! March 29, 2010

Most of these reviews are for a totally different product!
This is a floppy drive not a CD or DVD drive!
 Happy transaction March 15, 2010

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