User questions & answers

Question:	Does this require two USB ports to work
Answer:	USB 2.0 is the *type* of USB port. Currently we are up to USB 3.0 which is even faster. This will work in a USB 3.0 port and you don't need blazing speed to read a DVD.
Question:	does it need external power or just usb
Answer:	no just power from USB port
Question:	I'm sorry. i'm computer illiterate. can i use this to burn my music to a dvd-rw disc
Answer:	I think it would burn music to a dvd-rw disc no problem, but if it was just music, and no video, you should only need a cd-rw disc and not a dvd disc. It burns anything! Good luck!
Question:	Does it work with Windows
Answer:	Perhaps this is info is too late, but I had this LG drive for about 6 months using it with Win-7.I just upgraded to Windows 10 last week, and the drive works just fine. I didn't have to update any drivers or anything.Unless Window 10 found the drivers and installed them in the background, so I didn't notice, but the bottom line is that it works fine.

User questions & answers

Question:	Anyone noticed the usb cable provided seems like usb 2 instead usb
Answer:	Indeed, the cable is USB 2, not 3. This shouldn't be an issue, though, because the drive speed is the limiting factor. Reading & writing CDs & DVDs (not Blu-Ray disks) is slow enough that USB 3's high data rates are wasted.
Question:	Will it play bluray disk also
Answer:	Im sorry, the product will not play blue ray
Question:	can it be used with a mac? I have a new macbook pro running yosemite
Answer:	Yes it does work on Mac, BUT the drive will not mount until you insert a disc into the drive. I tested this on both Yosemite and Sierra. On Sierra, I tested it against USB-c, which is the smaller port found on newer (2017 and forward) Macbook Pros. I used a USB-c to USB-a adapter to do so. It worked fine.
Question:	Will this play on Windows
Answer:	will this work on a lenovo ideapad with windows 10

Question:	Is this compatible with Windows
Answer:	We think it would be best to build an additional solid platform to set it on and attach the wheels to the platform for best support. Also bolt the cabinet to the platform for safety. We don't feel it has enough structure at the bottom to support the weight if the wheels would be directly bolted to the cabinet without the support of the floor underneath. We are very pleased with the cabinet though and would definitely buy another one. Becky
Question:	IS this CDR or CD RW & DVD-R or DVD-RW (or both
Answer:	The shelving would need to be used with this cabinet.

Verbatim External Slimline CD/DVD Writer

Though CDs and DVDs are still among the most commonly used media types, more and more computer manufacturers are choosing to leave optical drives out of their new models. If you still use these media types, or even newer optical media types such as Blu-ray discs or M-Discs, you may find yourself in the position of needing to buy a separate optical drive, and there are several things to consider.

Internal vs. External

Optical drives can either be internal or external, and it’s an important choice when deciding which optical drive to buy. Internal drives are actually placed inside your computer, connected via an IDE or SATA port. Internal drives are usually more affordable and have higher read/write speeds. However, installation can be difficult and for some laptops, impossible, given the ultra-slim profile of some newer models.

External drives, on the other hand, exist outside of your computer and connect to your computer via a USB or FireWire port. They can either pull power from your computer itself or from a separate power outlet. Typically, they are more compact, more portable, and can fit easily into a laptop bag. However, due to external connectivity, they may have slightly lower read/write speeds compared to internal drives.

Formats

Another important factor in deciding which drive to buy is the format you want to work in. Today most drives work with multiple formats, but it is still important to make sure the drive you’re buying is compatible with the media types you want to use. Some common formats most drives now support are DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD-RW, CD-R, CD-RW, and DVD-ROM. Some less common formats include DVD-RAM, DVD+R/DVD-R Dual Layer and miniDVD. If you’d like to work with Blu-ray discs, make sure you get a drive that is Blu-ray compatible. Generally, if you’re unsure what media type you’ll be working with, choosing a drive that works with multiple media types may be your best option.

System Compatibility

With the prevalence of drives, finding one that is compatible with your operating system is less of a challenge than it has been. However, it is still important to make sure they are compatible, both with the hardware and software. If you choose to get an external drive, it will connect to your computer one of two ways: a USB port or FireWire port. While most computers will have at least one USB port, some newer models do not come with a FireWire port. You’ll also want to make sure you have enough USB ports to support your drive. Software-wise, some drives come with additional software, such as writing software; make sure it is compatible with your operating system as well.

Tray vs. Slot Loading

How a drive actually loads the disc may be another factor to consider. Typically there are two different loading styles: tray and slot. Tray loading is your typical DVD player style; you push a button, the tray ejects, you place the disc into the tray, and the tray goes back in. Drives with tray loading have the advantage of accommodating irregular sized discs (such as miniDVD), and feature a manual eject button, in case the disc fails. Slot loading is the newer style of disc loading; there is a slot on the drive in which you insert the disc without a tray – similar to your car CD player. Slot loading drives have fewer moving parts, and allow for a slim drive form factor, however, they may not recognize irregular shaped discs, so formats like miniDVD may not be supported.

M DISC Compatibility

Unlike traditional optical discs, which use dyes that break down over time, data stored on an M DISC is engraved on a patented inorganic write layer – it will not fade or deteriorate. This unique engraving process renders these archival grade discs practically impervious to environmental exposure, including light, temperature and humidity.* ISO/IEC 16963 longevity tests have proven the durability of M DISC technology, and it withstood rigorous testing by the US Department of Defense. Based on this testing, M DISC media has a projected lifetime of several hundred years.**

*U.S. Department Of Defense Longevity Test Summary

Storage Capacity

Verbatim M DISC media has storage capacities up to 100GB. M DISC BD-R media is compatible with the latest Blu-ray hardware from leading manufacturers – no special drives required for recording or playback. However, if you want to use M DISC DVD for archiving, you need to select a drive that is M DISC compatible.

User questions & answers

Question:	How do I tell the cables apart
Answer:	headset. this product it is terrible. it causes noise on the system and affects the speakers and the headset. There are better audio switches out there.
Question:	What is an integrated f cable for
Answer:	No
Question:	is this device compatible with Surface Pro 3 & Windows
Answer:	Hi Tjay! I have the headset switcher you are considering, and it works great, but it is really made for attaching a microphone, speakers, and a headset to one computer. I would not recomend it for your application. However, if you search Amazon for "audio switch box" you will find many low cost switch selectors designed to connect multiple audio/video (A/V) devices to one A/V device. Most of these switch selectors are not too expensive, plus they give you video options you may want to use later. For your present need you will utilize only the audio inputs and outputs, all of which support stereo. Your biggest challenge may be that most of the switch boxes utilize only RCA-type audio jacks. Your computer, ipad, aand iphone probably use only miniature plug-in connections (3.5 mm); for some of the switch boxes you will have to purchase one or more "Y-adaptors" to converts RCA to 3.5 mm. One Y-adaptor sold by Amazon is listed as "2 x RCA Male, 1 x 3.5mm Stereo Female, Y-Cable 6-Inch" (about $3 + free shipping). A few of the switch boxes you may want to look at are listed as: 1) "Gino PC Monitoring 4 In 1 Out VGA Ports Audio Switch Box Blk" ($23 with four 3.5 mm inputs and four VGA inputs, plus one 3.5 mm output and one VGA output. Probably your best choice); 2) "Sima SVS-14 4 Input Manual A/V Selector" ($16 with four RCA A/V inputs, one RCA A/V output, plus a 3.5 mm headphone jack to monitor audio inputs); 3) "3-Way Audio Video AV RCA Switch Selector Box Splitter For XBOX XBOX360 DVD PS2 PS3 with AV Cable" ($4 with three RCA A/V inputs and one RCA A/V outputs); and 4) "TCC TC-716 6-Way Stereo Source Selector; BLACK VERSION" ($30 with six RCA A/V input/outputs, four of which are RCA and two, 3.5 mm. With this device, multiple inputs can be monitored at the same time and you would only have to purchase one Y-adaptor). I would say your best choice may be the Gino device because all the audio inputs and outputs have 3.5 mm connections (no Y-adaptors are necesary). Hope this helps. Blessings to you!
Question:	Does the Cyberlink media suite work with Windows
Answer:	It will work, but he will be conforming to an unbalanced signal, so he'll run the risk of getting some buzz and hum.
Question:	Anyone use this just for kb/mouse but not video? i use an hd tv as a monitor and have extra hdmi on the t.v. so only need the kb/mouse functions
Answer:	Yes, you will just need a 1/4” to headphone jack adapter if your headphones do not already have a 1/4” connector.
Question:	The switch fails about 1 of 100 switches and I can't recover mouse/keyboard function without restarting the system I am switching to. Any fixes
Answer:	I don't quite understand the question, what do you mean by external sound? Basically this device can act as a "3 input to 1 output" switch or "1 input to 3 outputs" switch. It is a passive device. So if you have several audio sources connected to one speaker pair, then you will be able to switch from one source to another and hear them separately in your speakers. Or if you have 3 pairs of speakers and you have a single audio signal, you can switch from one pair of speakers to another and listen to how the music sounds on different speakers.
Question:	Does it work with Linux
Answer:	I would suspect you can. I run 3 different line level synths using this device. Works great.
Question:	Can you use a keyboard key/hot key to switch computers
Answer:	There is no impedance protection on or off button on the selector box.

Question:	Will this work on mac os mojave
Answer:	Just tested on my macbook pro 15.6 (2016) running mojave and it works
Question:	I have a question will this be able to play on a lg blu-ray home theatre system or a tv ? if i plug in the usb in the input
Answer:	No this is windows/Mac OS does not work on android TV’s. I am building a windows 10 high speed computer. Then I am hooking up this to my 55” tv using it as a monitor then will be able to watch blue ray through the computer to the tv. If you have a windows 10 computer that has an hdmi port and has usb 3.0 hook you’re computer through the hdmi. Otherwise you need to get a regular blue ray player to hook to your tv.
Question:	Does this support mdisk. if so does it support 25gb, 100gb or 125gb mdisk
Answer:	According to Pioneer's site, single double and triple layer m-discs are supported. Since 125gb is quad layer, it might not be supported by this burner but other sizes will. https://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Computer/Computer+Drives/BDR-XD07B
Question:	Will it work with a usb-c adaptor? my new dell laptop only has usb-c
Answer:	I just received this product. It doesn't have a USB-C cable, but the cable included is NOT proprietary. It's a standard USB 3.0 cable, similar to those included with USB 3.0 HDDs. The only difference is it's white, and it's very short.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it work to download cd's to iTunes
Answer:	I don't know about a Chrombook. But it does not work on my nextbook with Microsoft 10.
Question:	Can this extenal dvd drive work on smart tvs
Answer:	As long as enough of the OS is installed for the machine to see the external drive, yes. It would be perfect
Question:	Will it work with my laptop
Answer:	I was able to rip games with it so it should work the same with cds and dvds.
Question:	I'd just like to be able to play some dvd's on my dell laptop. will this do the job
Answer:	Correct that mine came with no manual or drivers disk. But it doesn't need either: it is completely plug-and-play. And the driver software is found on your computer, not in this optical drive. If needed, Windows would likely be able to find the drivers it needs to use this optical drive from the internet (but I can't verify that; again, mine worked as is).
