    Very handy especially for those PCs and Notebooks that haven't a cd/DVD to play music or movies, not to mention installing new software. Simple to use right out of the box. A very good buy for the money.

    Needed a quick option to burn CDs and this worked perfectly. It’s nice to not require a PC with a built in disk drive.

    Good portable Write/Read CD drive. Very easy to take along on flights. Since most new laptops don't have built-in drives, this was a great, cheap add-on for all the old discs gathering dust.

    Good low price optical drive /burner. I hammerhead really taken full advantage but it definitely comes in handy. My only grow is that it uses two USB ports to function,one for power and one for data?

    We got this because our new computer didn't come with a disc tray. And my husband wanted to play old Star Wars games from disc's. This was exactly what we needed at a good price.

    This comes in handy since most of the NEW laptops omit the CD Writer/ROM now but cost even more. Im glad they make these external ones so I have the option again.

    Worked fine for awhile. Then my Mac refused to recognize it. It's the chip in the new Macs. Not ASUS fault, it's Apple whose products I refuse to purchase because they force you to buy their updates.
