Introduction

Most of the latest ultra thin Notebooks, NetBooks, ultra-mobile PCs or Tablet PCs come without a CD,
DVD, or Blue-Ray disc drive due to cost and space limitations. Without a built-in optical disc drive
(ODD), users need some other way to access their CDs or DVDs. The EzODD provides a simple and
easy solution which lets you access an optical disc drive on another computer through an
easy-to-use, high-speed USB 2.0 connection.

When you use the EzODD product to connect your computer to another one with a built-in ODD, you
can enjoy all the functions available from the ODD, including playing music, watching movies,
burning to disc, backing up important data, installing software from a CD, and even rebooting your
computer from an external disc drive when everything else fails.

No installation CD is required, simply plug and play.

Access an optical disc drive on another computer using EzODD.
