\Hi Amro. I'm sorry to hear of your experiences with the drive, perhaps you had a faulty unit which isn't uncommon in today's pile 'em high, sell 'em cheap attitude to budget consumer electronics. This is a host powered drive, so if the netbook your using isn't providing sufficient power through its USB ports, you may have to use both the data and power cables you are supplied with. I patronise Samsung netbooks and have never experienced difficulties with these drives which are excellent value for money. Sam, this drive is available from Play, through their Play Trade program, look where it says "new and used". All the best, Ibrahim. ----- Original Message ----- From: Amro Bilal To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, October 22, 2009 1:47 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: DVD Drive for Samsung NC10 Hi Sam and Ibrahim, I bought the CNM drive for my sun to use it with his Dell netbook but unfortunately it gave us nothing but trouble. Not sure if it is the Dell netbook not providing enough energy to the drive for it to function properly, but the CNM drive isn't working with most of the CD's/DVD's we tried playing using it. So I would say this drive isn't reliable at all from my experience.
