I don't know that this is a drive so much as some sort of external casing for an internal model...could be wrong though...

I really have no idea to tell the truth...but good luck nonetheless!

Um, I think it's just a USB cable for the drive or something

I'm guessing it is the USB ADAPTER with the cable FOR the CDRW; not the CDRW itself.

The title and category that it is listed under makes it sound like it's an adapter to make the drive be able to connect using usb.

<< USB ADAPTER MICROSOLUTIONS W/CABLE F/BACKPACK DR >>

The reference to cdrw is just a description of what this cable is for.

I still think it's the drive. For instance, the weight. 4.5 LBS is about right for the whole thing, but seems AWFUL heavy for just a USB adaptor. We shall see, I picked Airborn so I'll know Tuesday. Let's hope...

ummm I do believe this is the USB adaptor that will go to these two drives:

Drive Uno

and Drive Dos (he he)

I did a search using CD-R and USB and these drives came up-theya re the &quot;backpack&quot; brand and this is the adaptor to convert them to USB.
(I think they are external)

I'm not the geekiest lil critter but savvy internet shopping IS my bag!!

2 it is just the cable

I saw this over a week ago, slipped in an order and called the next day to try to find a tired CRS to verify. After establishing that this was just the cable and cancelling my order, I asked him to pass along that the page needed to be updated pronto.

Apparently it hasn't been.

Yup, it's just the cable.
