Good for value
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5I used this to convert my old CD’s to iTunes. It worked well for this purpose. It did take longer to download the music from the CD’s than I expected. On average it took 20-30 seconds per song. If I purchased a more expensive unit it probably would have cut the time in half, but the other drives I saw were twice the price. I think this drive was good for the value.

A good, light, compact product

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5CD/DVDs are still around and sometimes necessary. Few to no laptops nowadays include them, so you need to accessorize. This is very lightweight, so it perfectly fits the bill.

Q: QuestionDoes double layer DVD/+RW/R/-RAM/CD-RW Drive mean it can burn cds and DVD. I'm using HP notebook running Windows 10. I'm trying to transfer cassette tapes to cd. Will this work ?
Asked by babyface5629.
- A:Answer Yes, it will write CDs and DVDs. The abbreviation to look for is 'RW'. If the description just said 'R', then it is read only. This model is "RW' for both CDs and DVDs which means it will both Read and Write.
