    Needed a drive for work to upload dvds and cds. This is perfect. It does take two USB ports but for the price, can’t beat it.

    If you still find an occasion to utilize a disk this does the trick, and at this price it's a great deal.

    Bought to connect to a HP Pavillion so audio and video DVD can be made for school projects by my grandson. Ge has found it easy to use and compatible. Asus quality has come through again.

    Product works really well and it is very compact and lite. It amazes me that about all new laptops don't come with a disc drive anymore.
