Easy to set up and works well for playback. Haven't used it yet to write to it, but not why I purchased it. I don't mind the small footprint. Not much room on my desk for anything larger. So far, works well for me. We'll see how well it holds up. Flimsy plastic build so be careful not to drop it. Kind of what I expected for the price. All in all, pretty satisfied with the purchase.

I have been looking for a 14" laptop with optical drive and they are impossible to find. So I had to get external DVD drive/burner. This was the cheapest available. Another pro - it is small and light, can fir into a pocket in the laptop bag. The con - it is only shipped, no store pickup, so you pay extra for shipping. And I just don;t have extra space on my desk to have another gadget dangling of my laptop. Please bring back 14" laptops with optical drives!!!

It's fast, it's quite, and it's easily transportable. It works with both my computer and my Surface tablet.
