This is a good read/write drive!
Plain and simple, it works! If you’re looking at this, you must want the Lenovo brand, the slim size, or both. If those are your priorities, it’s a good buy. The included software (disc) allows great flexibility. The cord could be a little longer, but it’s sized to self contain in the back of the drive. There is a usable extension in the box. (It’s part of the double plug that you may have to use if you only have USB 2.0) The tray doesn’t feel super sturdy, but if you’re buying slim, you just understand that sacrifices need to be made. Handle responsibly and you’ll be fine. I like it and I’d buy it again.

I highly recommend this USB DVD burner.
Seamless plug-and-play made for instant functionality. The sleek design compliments my ThinkPad P53. Fast data transfer, quiet operation and ultra-slim portability round out the positive attributes of this most excellent accessory.

External DVD multi-Drive.
No instructions and not easy to find on website. Lenovo service is non-existent. But good hardware. Everything comes on an enclosed disc, but you need to install and run the drive first. Lenovo should include an “ABC” installation diagram for dummies like me.

Good equipment - Just needed a better user guide.
Good buy. Easy to carry with you. Miss it not being internal, though. I also wish that there had bee an easier way to figure out the cord that came with it. That required going on line to Lenovo and hunting for a REAL user manual. Would it have hurt to mention something in the paper work that came with the drive?

A breeze to set up and use
Easy to install and works perfectly. I wish it could have been contained in the laptop, but that's what makes the x1 carbon so slim and extremely light. It's just a little annoying if you need to move the laptop around and have this drive dangling off. But it's truly a minor inconvenience.

DVD Burner Compact and Capable
I can't believe how a DVD Burner is so compact. Besides looking cool, that little guy has a lot of functionality. USB connectivity is great with 2 USB types available. Kudos to Lenovo.

Works well. I use it with NERO to burn music CD's. My Desktop DVD / CD player died, this was my replacement, rather than buying a new desk top. Couldn't be happier!

Expect mulfunctions and terrible support!
Finding support information or downloads is almost impossible!
Serious troubles when trying to burn data on a CD-R and instability.
It seems to work fine with the DVD-R (read+write)
Quite impractical when it needs 2 USB ports.

Great Addition to my ThinkPad X1 Carbon 6th Gen
I bought the USB DVD Burner when I purchased the Thnkpad X1 Carbon a month ago. I still have software I need to load from CD's and I like having this feature available. This unit is very compact, light weight and easy to use. I plugged the DVD Burner into my ThinkPad and it was ready to run. There was no need to load additional software.

I would buy one again!
My old laptop was a Thinkpad, my husband has a Thinkad, and the new one I just purchased is a Thinkpad. They have all been trouble free. I like the clarity of the screens. The newest laptop did not have a CD/DVD. That makes it lighter in weight, but I did purchase the external drive to use. I recommended Lenovo to a friend who just made a purchase. I have been pleased with the quality and performance. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

An excellent portable USB DVD Burner
I was looking for a reliable USB DVD Burner for use both at work and at home. I spent considerable time online, researching different makes, models, features and specifications. I was very impressed with the USB DVD Burner offered by Lenovo and, after receiving and using it, I was very pleased hat I chose this particular product. I'm pleased with the design of the product and the features that set it apart form many competitor's models. I was especially pleased with how quiet the DVD Burner is when it is operating. I have listened to other makes and they can be quite noisy by comparison.

Still essential hardware
Bought a new Thinkpad T560 which, due to its slimline silhouette, did not have a CD/DVD drive. Since many of my work programs are still delivered via CD, I needed that capacity. The ThinkPad UltraSlim DVD burner turned out to be an excellent choice: it is well designed with the USB connector cable fitting into a slot in the back of the unit so there are no dangling cables. It is a compact size and is fast. The only problem I had was when I pulled the protective coating off of the original unit, it pulled some of the finish off of the exterior. Lenovo was very quick to replace the unit - 3 business days. This is a quality producr.
