[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1854322, member: 38864"] I have one that uses a USB cable with dual-connecctions like that but it works fine in my experience just using one. However, I only use it for reading DVD/Blu-Ray discs. If I was actually burning discs, especially at higher speeds, I think using both would be especially important to maintain those speeds. For writing, I definitely would not use a hub since you'd effectively be only using one port. Generally speaking, I don't think you can go wrong with either Pioneer or LG models. I've had a slim portable LG model for several years now, first used on a 2010 iMac, now on my 2019 iMac, and it's worked flawlessly all this time. [/QUOTE]
