5 out of 5 stars Yet another Acer Aspire One user   November 11, 2008
DJM (USA)

It seems like everyone and his brother is getting this to use with an Acer Aspire One.

Well, it works fine with mine.

When I installed the CentOS/Linux operating system, the installation software didn't automatically recognize the drive, and I had to pick from a list of CentOS's drivers. That was no problem, however.

If you're going to use the unit to install a new operating system, or otherwise boot to the unit, you'll appreciate the outside power supply, since the USB ports on the Aspire One aren't powered until a few seconds into boot-up. By then the bios would have decided that no DVD was connected, and would be booting from the hard drive.

I found that out the hard way with a USB-powered unit made by LG, which is why I went for the Sony instead. That and several other problems with the LG.

Best for the Aspire One would be a USB-powered unit with an optional external power supply.

This is a first-rate drive, at a reasonable price.

4 out of 5 stars Great Portable Drive.   October 2, 2008

Yes it would be nice to have this thing powered off the USB Port, but with a small device like the Acer Aspire One (which I also bought this for), it would not be practical. So far, I've only used it to watch some movies on the Acer, this worked great. I plan to use it as a backup/second DVD Drive with my other systems. Though I've not tested all features, I've not had any issues with it and it seems sturdy enough given it's size.


1 out of 5 stars HAS EXTERNAL POWER ADAPTER   September 6, 2008

I bought this drive since it IS a sony and its SLIM LINE.

The key thing I did not notice? It REQUIRES an external power adapter.

I was planning on using this drive with my soon to be shipped (I hope) acer aspire one, but since it requires an external power adapter, its not nearly as useful as I would have thought.

SO please take note of this before you buy this...I will have to try it out with the acer before I make a final judgment, but in terms of storage and space, to take this WITH adapter on a trip with the acer and its adapter is already a lot more bulk than I would like..

but it looks real pretty!
