By Christopher T Roberts At first impression, this drive appears to work quite well - it is very thin and light. It works with Windows 7, plug and play for DVDs and CDs - just plug it in and pop in a disk. I have not used it to write any DVDs or CDs yet, but have used it to load software from DVD and play Blu-Ray disks It comes with 2 installation CDs - - Encina CD Maker - I'd suggest skipping this install - I find it easier to use Windows to write data CDs and DVDs which is all it does. - Cyberlink Blu-ray Disk Suite - This is required to play BluRay disks, and appears to allow building of video DVDs, including a simple movie composer.. This is absolutely worth installing. Be patient, the installation took a long time for me. I'm using this with a new Dell Inspiron 11 11.6-Inch Obsidian Black Laptop (Windows 7 Premium) Which comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. As I mentioned, I haven't run into any incompatabilities, and haven't run into any problems yet with power consumption or trouble with any transfer rate on the disks. Will update if I find more. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Velocity VMbludrive By M. Yared The Velocity VMbludrive looks great. It is thin and light. It works out of the box as just a CD/DVD rom. Just plug and play. You need to install the drivers for other functionalities like playing BluRay disks. As stated by other reviewers, playing BluRay disks needs more computer power than playing regular DVDs so expect issues with lesser computers like netbooks. In fact, the Velocity VMbludrive works perfectly well with my desktop running Vista. It also worked fine with my Asus netbook running Windows 7 Home premium, except for playing BluRay. The device comes with a software (BD advisor) that will check your system for minimum requirements to play BluRay. I ran BD advisor on my netbook and it detected a few incompatibilities, including CPU power (my netbook runs an Atom 270 1.6ghz; I have 2 GB of ram). Overall, this is a very good external CD/DVD player/burner and BD player (the cheapest external BD player I came across), except if you only intend to use it with a netbook in which case you might not be able to use it as a BD player. You then would need to look at much cheaper external CD/DVD player/burners without BD capabilities that need lesser computing power. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. VMbludrive By Billy E. Rainbolt I found this product to be everything reported. Unfortunately, my lap top does not not support the blueray function. It did play regular DVD's with no problem. The only thing I would suggest Amazon place a link on the product page so people can test to ensure their laptop meets the minimum requirements to use this product. See all 9 customer reviews...
