How to use
Connect the Verbatim Slimline drive to an available USB port on your laptop or computer. Wait for the operating system to detect the device and install any necessary drivers; on many systems this will be automatic. Insert a blank disc to begin burning or an existing disc to read files. Use your preferred burning application or the bundled Nero Burn & Archive software (PC only) to create discs, manage content and finalise sessions. Safely eject the disc using the operating system's eject command before removing it from the drive.
Usage recommendations
For reliable burn results, use high-quality blank media rated for the intended write speed (e.g. 24× CD media, 8× DVD+R media). Keep the drive on a stable, flat surface while reading or writing and avoid moving the computer during disc operations. The included Nero software is compatible with Windows systems only; for macOS or other platforms use the native OS disc utilities or third‑party burning software.
