    A little light

    Very thin aluminium shell, so thin that when you press down on it to pull the drawer in with your thumb, the drawer no longer fits.
    Cables really too short

    Tested under UBUNTU 22.04.1

    Tested in simple reading (no burning). It works perfectly under UBUNTU 22.04.1 LTS: silent and smooth playback, even on older CDs.
    One small drawback: the eject button is a bit difficult to reach. A button elsewhere than on the drawer would be better (... even revolutionary ^_^')

    Works great!

    Frankly, it does the job perfectly. Very light, an advantage for those who want to carry it. It's really handy to have a DVD player/writer anyway, whether you want to read old CDs/DVDs you have in stock or burn a bootable DVD for example :)

    very good reader

    Very good player. Works very well with dvd and cd. Only needs a USB for power and data transfer. It is also very nice.
