    Perfect for what we need it for. Decrease/eliminate physical DVDs and increase mp4 videos for our portal devices.

    Bought this for only a couple disks I needed to download programs. Tried to take it back because if the noise it makes. I was told that it is supposed to be loud. Other than that it works and does not take up much table space and is easy to place in a drawer when it in use.

    Backup memories are utilitarian devices; the one think required above all is reliability. This device has it totally. A good buy.

    No software installation required. The easiest plug and play ever. It is a bit slow though. But I rather wait than install additional software to make another brand work.
