The unit pictured here appears to be a different one from the one I purchased earlier this year. The unit I purchased has not worked with my SATA DVD Drive. In fact, I have not found any use for it! Very Disappointed! I have a motherboard with two SATA connections and one IDE. I have two SATA HDs and a SATA DVD. I had hoped that I could find some combination of connections that would allow me to use all the drives simultaneously. So far, I must use any two of the drives directly from the motherboard. The adapter I received will not allow BIOS to "see" the third drive in any configuration. If this unit will work in this configuration, I'll buy it. Please let me know your results!!

The adapter should work with any IDE device, however the one I received did not work at all. I was unable to get it to work at all. My suggestion, pay a little more to insure a working adapter.

It worked connecting my IDE DVD-RW to my SATA Motherboard. I used the "Master" jumper pin setting on my IDE DVD-RW just to be sure. Most IDE drives are probably set to "Cable Select" by default. Just make sure you use the "IDE Host to SATA HD" SATA connector on the adapter if using an IDE DVD or Hard drive to a SATA Motherboard and if the red light stays on, you should be good to go.

Yes. You have to remove the DVD/CD Drive... And replace it with the SATA Hard disk drive...

Yes. There is a CD/DVD +/- RW Drive in this laptop to play CDs and DVDs and burn (make) CDs and DVDs with.

This is not a cd/dvd drive. Just a casing. If you have an internal slot loading drive you can remove it and make it external. Once it is external, yes it should work.

I do not see why not. This is just a larger capacity storage digital video data disc. The only way I could see it not working is if the drives and readers are old, and not able to read dual layer high capacity disc. I have a DVD player from 2001 which does not recognize DVDR but everything else I own plays them fine.

It does not have a built in cd or dvd drive, most ultraportables do not. You can connect and external drive through the usb port.

Yes you can! Could be necessary sometimes to close the cd/dvd session, in order to have maximum compatibility.

Yes this model will support cd, DVD. It will be a tray model, not a slot load.

Technically it can, since it's a laptop DVD ROM drive in an external casing. The thing to remember is that it has a USB connection, meaning data transfer from disc to PC may be a little slow, so you may experience some lag depending on the game. I think this works better as a movie player/disc burner than a drive for a PC game. I have not played a PC game using this as mine is being used for an older netbook. I suggest matching up the computing requirements for the game with your computer and see if this DVD drive fits the bill.

Yes. You'll see on the front panel there is a slot on the right. The DVD drive goes behind that panel. You will however need a slim, slot-loading DVD drive to fit one in there.

Even if your DVD player had a USB port, it does not work this way (USB port would most likely be for upgrading firmware or plugging in compatible media). The media-share device does not have the neccesary drivers to allow it to act as a "Host" device, even for USB DVD/RW drives.

not sure, check the screws, if they are tri-wing it should. I used it on a Wii. to replace the DVD drive.

Yes it can burn DVD's from a USB drive or copy the files to the local hard drive. For more information got to: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/burn-cd-or-dvd-media-player

You can use pretty much any USB external cd, DVD, or bluray burner or player. The drivers are usually preloaded so there should be no issues.

I don't know about a DVD drive, but I have attached my external hard drive with no fuss at all. It treats it like a memory card. I would worry about a DVD drive, though, needing an extra driver or two.

No it doesn't. You would need to buy an external dvd drive. You won't need any special adapters or anything though; the external dvd drives will plug into a usb port.

No it cannot. It is not a dvd player. You can only play media files from an USB external hard drive or internal sata hard.
