Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Targus PADVD010U USB 2.0 DVD/CD-ROM Slim External Drive - Black
Customer Review: works only about 20-30% of the time, and not on Windows 7
Summary: 1 Stars
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.
