This is certainly a marvelous little unit and just what I needed to add to my Toshiba NB205 Netbook (running Windows XP). Without an optial drive, backups to external media or installing new software can be bothersome. This solves that problem and, in addition, allows me to play movies without having to store the file(s) on the hard drive. Installation was pretty much a brease, except that the computer stated there was an error on installation and that the unit might not work as expected. I have not had any difficulty so far. I have watched DVD's from the Buffalo and copied a rather large file to a DVD+R without a problem. I have not needed to use the boost cord (the other USB connection) on the Toshiba NB205. Another reviewed stated that the Buffalo is noisy. I did not find this to be the case (unless you're copying files from the Buffalo to the Hard Drive, in which case it does hum due to the speed). It isn't any noisier than any other DVD. It will hum while it spins up to load the inserted disk, but, after that, there isn't any noise. I watched a movie with it and the Buffalo was quiet. It was also stated in another review that there was a difficulty with ejecting DVDs. The only time I found this to be the case was when the Buffalo was running while finishing up an operation. That is to be expected. When the Buffalo is finished, push the button and the DVD pops out. The cable storage is fantastic! The cables wrap around the enclosure in specifically provided slots and the plugs snuggle neatly into their own little resting places. The cables are labeled - one is the normal USB, the other is labeled \"Boost\" in case computer USB slot doesn't have enough power to run the Buffalo. Again, I didn't have to use this on the NB205. The \"Boost\" cable is not long enough to wrap around to the other side of the computer, so, if there aren't two USB outlets on the same side, some sort of extension will need to be provided (that's mentioned in another review).(Actually, I think I can get one plug on one side of my Netbook and one on the other, but it's a bit of a stretch and the Buffalo would be just about in my lap). One thing I would like to see is better non-skid feet. The Buffalo actually slid off the table while I was recording (I bumped it with the keyboard drawer for the other computer - I have one computer for each hand). I installed peel and stick feet (called Heavy Duty Bumpers at KMart in the Home Improvement section) and the Buffalo doesn't slide around any more It's also a little easier to get the drawer closed with one hand (I think someone complained about that). The software provided is not real great. It's Cyberlink's Power2Go 7 DE version, which has limited capabilities. Even when burning a disk, options such as buffer underrun protection, data verification, and burning speed are not selectable. Cyberlink gives the user several opportunities to upgrade to a better version. I did not find the software very intuitive. I have used many burning packages before. I tried a test burn with this one and did not succeed in copying a large file to a DVD. Another small thing I hated was that the window for Cyberlink adjusted itself to the full screen width of my netbook. I placed the task bar over on the left to make more room on the screen vertically. This hides the right portion of the Cyberlink window. This can not be adjusted (from what I have seen). However, the purpose of this is not to review the software. I just want to make the reader aware of what I experienced. I decided to uninstall Cyberlink and use another package (try CDBurnerXP). BUT, do not let my impression of the software deter you from acquiring the Buffalo. One might also question the brand name. Who ever heard of \"Buffalo\" (unless you live in or pass through upper New York State)? Well, I have been involved with computer software and hardware since the 1980's and have used Buffalo products before. They've been around for a while. Bottom line is this is a good unit (so far, anyway). If you're in the market for this type of hardware, this is good!
