What they mean is that if there is nothing else drawing power from the usb chip that port connects to and the chip can source enough current to power the device.
BTW, you can get these for about 47-$50 shipped elsewhere such as Axma_zon or many e_@bay shops, but then you won't receive the historic memorabilia of Nero bare minimum version 7 (nero is now at ver. 9).
No problem, you can d/l Nero 9 at hardwarez.com

Price is 69, + 7 shipping. Looks like a dead deal.
It seems likely that this will have the same power issues that many higher-capacity hard drives have when used with a laptop, and just won't work with many (Dell) laptops. Has anyone used this with a laptop, and been able to burn reliably?
laptop burners are crap...
you cram all the stuff into such a tiny space, doubt it can be done without cutting corners here and there.
I have a very similar unit made by Samsung (probably identical guts) and have used it many times with my Dell Latitude D420 laptop. Works great.
As for performance, keep in mind that all laptop drives run at much lower rpm's than their desktop cousins. A burner labeled "8x" runs at an rpm 8 times the SLOWEST speed of a DVD playback, at the outermost tracks. So if you do a DVD-R burn, the drive will burn at only maybe 4x for most of the burn, then 6x and finally 8x if you are burning out to the edge. It's all a matter of the spindle motor not having enough power to spin the disk at very high rpms.
You can download a tweak to Nero so that it shows the actual current burn speed, rather than the nominal speed. Then you can see how DVD burners (especially portable burners) start out slowly for any burn.
