Good drive for the price
My new laptop didn't come with an internal DVD drive, so I purchased this model to fill the void. I needed a DVD drive to install some software on my new laptop that was only available on CD. The drive worked well out of the box, and I appreciated that it came with a cord to connect it to the laptop. The drive is lightweight and relatively small, but I can't decide if that makes the unit feel "cheap." I don't have a lot of media on CD, so I likely won't be using it a lot. I MIGHT be concerned about durability if I were using this drive regularly.

Great drive for the price!!!
I purchased this to provide DVD data backup discs for a project. I no longer have CD/DVD drives on my Macbooks so there was a need to go external. The drive performed well with no drops or disc errors. It was a little noisy and because of its build (thin plastic) it felt a little "cheap" and flimsy. I would still recommend the drive for any that needs to write to legacy data formats.
