    What you'd expect from an external disk burner

    Not too much to say bad about this product. It's an external CD\DVD writer that's bus-powered so you don't need a separate AC adapter or Y-cable to use it. Other than that it's pretty run of the mill. Includes some basic software to get you started creating disks but your OS's built-in disk burning utilities are probably better. For the price it's a good choice.

    Been using it for a few weeks now, and it's working great. Once or twice a disc wasn't recognized and i had to pop it open and re-close it, but we've been using it heavily and that hasn't happened much. Good device, much better than LG.

    Works fine. Reads DVD disks without errors. I'm using this on an Acer laptop and needed a DVD drive. I have no need to write disks, so I haven't tested that feature.

    I was looking for a portable cd rom to use with my laptop and found this at Best Buy. Hands down, best investment! Includes complimentary software to use, and it reads/writes flawlessly!

    Bought this knowing it was inexpensive so I wasn't expecting much. The only complaint I would have is the usb cord is very short , fortunately I have a box "O" cords and found a longer cord.

    Works well but the fact that it requires 2 USB ports defeats its portability. It's especially annoying when my laptop has zero USB A ports so I need two dongles to get this to work. Reading of discs is pretty quiet, so that's nice.

    Most of the games I play on my new computer are all digital downloads. I needed to restore data from old CD archives and picked this up. It works perfectly for what I need it for.

    It’s a bit slow but I could have done better if I knew what I was doing. So the product does what it needs to do as advertised.

    I bought a new laptop that did not have a DVD-CD drive and I needed it to load several programs that I use daily. It works great and has a good speed for downloading. I have not used it yet for Write / Rewrite.
