User questions & answers

Question:	Does this require two USB ports to work
Answer:	USB 2.0 is the *type* of USB port. Currently we are up to USB 3.0 which is even faster. This will work in a USB 3.0 port and you don't need blazing speed to read a DVD.
Question:	does it need external power or just usb
Answer:	no just power from USB port
Question:	I'm sorry. i'm computer illiterate. can i use this to burn my music to a dvd-rw disc
Answer:	I think it would burn music to a dvd-rw disc no problem, but if it was just music, and no video, you should only need a cd-rw disc and not a dvd disc. It burns anything! Good luck!
Question:	Does it work with Windows
Answer:	Perhaps this is info is too late, but I had this LG drive for about 6 months using it with Win-7.I just upgraded to Windows 10 last week, and the drive works just fine. I didn't have to update any drivers or anything.Unless Window 10 found the drivers and installed them in the background, so I didn't notice, but the bottom line is that it works fine.

User questions & answers

Question:	what is m disk support
Answer:	Wheeled Dolly will only fit the 20 gal and above and will not fit this 10 gal Brute. The 10 gal Brute has a flat bottom and no way to attach a dolly. Hope this helps.
Question:	does this device need 1 or 2 USB ports
Answer:	Thank you for choosing Rubbermaid Home Solutions. Our goal is to provide our customers with the highest quality and service. Amazon does state there is a lock that isn't included. You may also find this in the description on our Rubbermaid website.
Question:	Is this compatible with Windows
Answer:	We think it would be best to build an additional solid platform to set it on and attach the wheels to the platform for best support. Also bolt the cabinet to the platform for safety. We don't feel it has enough structure at the bottom to support the weight if the wheels would be directly bolted to the cabinet without the support of the floor underneath. We are very pleased with the cabinet though and would definitely buy another one. Becky
Question:	IS this CDR or CD RW & DVD-R or DVD-RW (or both
Answer:	The shelving would need to be used with this cabinet.

Answer:	Just tested on my macbook pro 15.6 (2016) running mojave and it works
Question:	I have a question will this be able to play on a lg blu-ray home theatre system or a tv ? if i plug in the usb in the input
Answer:	No this is windows/Mac OS does not work on android TV’s. I am building a windows 10 high speed computer. Then I am hooking up this to my 55” tv using it as a monitor then will be able to watch blue ray through the computer to the tv. If you have a windows 10 computer that has an hdmi port and has usb 3.0 hook you’re computer through the hdmi. Otherwise you need to get a regular blue ray player to hook to your tv.
Question:	Does this support mdisk. if so does it support 25gb, 100gb or 125gb mdisk
Answer:	According to Pioneer's site, single double and triple layer m-discs are supported. Since 125gb is quad layer, it might not be supported by this burner but other sizes will. https://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Computer/Computer+Drives/BDR-XD07B
Question:	Will it work with a usb-c adaptor? my new dell laptop only has usb-c
Answer:	I just received this product. It doesn't have a USB-C cable, but the cable included is NOT proprietary. It's a standard USB 3.0 cable, similar to those included with USB 3.0 HDDs. The only difference is it's white, and it's very short.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this drive read blu ray discs
Answer:	No, I'm sorry, just DVDs and CDs. Thanks for inquiring though.
Question:	Would this work for Lenovo ideapad
Answer:	I am confident it would dependent on your OS of course. I'm running Windows 7 and was able to use the drive without installing any additional drivers, plug-and-play. Therefore if you have Windows 7 or newer OS it should work, not sure about Vista or XP. It is a great little drive and in my case it even works using a single USB port if necessary. However I would recommend calling Lenovo customer support.
Question:	Hello, I would like to know, would this external DVD RW player fit the ASUS K50INseries laptop
Answer:	Yes since this laptop contains" 4 x USB 2.0 ports" and the DVD is external connection via USB this should work fine. Once connected the OS should install the proper driver automatically.
Question:	is there a built in stand
Answer:	Which is it? Stand included or not. First you say no on November 10 , then you say yes on November 12. O purchased this so It would stand up. False advertising.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this work for cech-2501b? Either gb
Answer:	Yes, the name show that it works for all models that start with those first six characters, CECH-25, including yours. Enjoy! Youtube has videos to show you how to swap it out.
Question:	hello before buying would you like to know if it is for my ps3 3001b
Answer:	Yes. The advertising title and the product description don't list the same info.
Question:	how do i attach it to my ps3 what do I have to do it didn't come with instructions
Answer:	I've repaired several of these. The PS3 slimline model has "Tamper Torx" screws underneath the Power button/Disc Eject button panel. It requires specialty Torx Tools (torx bits with a hole in the center) to remove them. Or for the PS3 I kept for myself, I drilled off the head of the screws to remove them. This is tricky and could damage the casing, button panel, etc. I'd recommend purchasing the tool along with the drive. Once you remove the screws on the bottom of the PS3 slim (hidden under the rubber feet and square flush pop out panels), then remove the screws under the panel and for the Blue Ray drive on the bottom before you remove the case cover. Once the top cover is off, there is one hidden screw underneath the power supply. You have to remove the power supply first before removing the Disc Drive. There are two silver screws on each side of the power supply. Plus two cables that have to be removed first. On the left side under the power supply is a hidden plug connection mounted on the board underneath and the power supply itself. Once you have the screws out and the two cables disconnected, then wiggle the power supply while pulling it upward to release the connectors. If it does not come loose by hand, then GENTLY pry it up with a flat screwdriver from the left side. I have a plastic blade flat screwdriver that doesn't damage things, but a regular screwdriver will work if you are CAREFUL. Don't force it or pry too hard. Just know the plug underneath is holding it down. Once the power supply is out of the way, there is another screw on the back of the DVD drive on a plastic tab that has to come out. Then two cables, one tiny power connector on the back the drive and the Circuit board in the PS3, and a ribbon cable for the data. The ribbon cable slides into the connector with a slide lock that has to be released first. Be gentle again with a small flat head screwdriver, pry the plastic slide lock upward or outward in the direction of the ribbon cable. Once it is released, then gently wiggle the ribbon cable out of the connector. Then remove the drive by pulling up the back of the Disc drive (tilting upward) where you took the back screw off, and pulling it back and upward from under the button panel (or remove the panel first). Reinstall in reverse order. Don't forget to push down the locking slide for the ribbon cable. You can test it before putting the cabinet/case back together. Make sure the DVD/Blue ray disc loads and unloads without jamming. It must be aligned back underneath the button panel. If it does not power up the drive or doesn't load/eject the discs, recheck the ribbon cable and the small cable connectors at both ends to make sure they seated and the locks snapped into place. If everything works, then put the case back together, reinstall the screws, and end caps to hide them. Only one corner of the rubber feet comes out for a hidden screw.There is another hidden screw under a panel on the bottom, shaped like a rectangle. It is for the hard drive underneath the front panel. Which has another panel that can come out, then a small wire handle is exposed on the front of the hard drive to pull it out from the front. If the hard drive ever fails, it can be replaced or upgraded to a larger/faster type if you need to. Be sure to download the latest operating software from playstation.com for the PS3 slim. Version 4.53 is the latest (and last) for this model. Back up your PS3 Game Date onto a USB Thumbdrive, and copy the Operating system (4.53 *.pup file) into the PS3\UPDATE Directory also on the USB Thumbdrive or a USB Hard drive you can connect to the front of the PS3 console. Be sure you Make the Directories exact with Uppercase letters only, otherwise when you go to restore either the games or the operating system later, they won't work. The same is true with any user ID you recreate on a new Hard Drive, it must be exact as the one on the old drive for your saved game data to work again. Otherwise you will have to replay your games from the start to re-earn trophies, gadgets, etc. again. Hopefully this helps. You can do a Google or Yahoo search on "How To" guides with pictures on changing out the Blue Ray Disc drive or Hard Drives also. Many of them are good, along with a few YouTube videos showing you step by step.
Question:	It comes with the complete metal enclosure? Like in the photo

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this work with windows
Answer:	It should work with Windows 8 though I only used with Windows 10. If you insert a DVD and a video player does not start up, you may need a player that will recognize the drive. On a recommendation from a friend, I installed "VLC media player" and this app opens when I insert a DVD into the Riodadas player. VLC is a free and open source media player that works with all Windows versions. You can get the player here: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/
Question:	Can this be used to install windows 10 without the need to somehow install a driver first? it's rather tough to do that when trying to install an os
Answer:	This is basically a laptop optical drive in an external case with USB connection. I would think so. If the installation disk contains the installation software and the computer can access a USB device then it should. Changes to the boot device may be required.
Question:	Does this play games like sims
Answer:	It's played all my games without so much of a skip.
