Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have been very happy with this external optical drive! It operates smoothly and quietly, and has done what I have asked of it perfectly. It is slim enough and light enough to fit easily into my laptop carry case, and so far I have not had any need to utilize the included extra USB cord for additional power to the unit; the single has been just fine.

Needed one for my laptop and wanted to transfer all my CDs to digital format and this did the job. I haven’t tried burning CDs with it yet. It’s a little flimsy so the build could’ve been better, but it’s only sitting on my desk and not being moved around much so it’s not a big deal.

Works like it should, eventually CD's will be obsolete so this is how they are transfered to a computer for digital use

Had to purchase after windows 10 deleted my drive on my laptop. Which (windows 10) also made installation more difficult than necessary. Although it was basically plug and play. Haven’t used it much yet but seems to keep up. It DOES have 2 power connections but so far have only used one as I am low on space.

My wife and I bought this CD drive when it was listed among the Best Buy's daily deals. It's fast for its price, and is very durable and portable. It may not be able to read Blu-Ray discs, but for CD and DVD functions, this drive is perfect.

new computer did not come with a much needed cd drive. plugged it in and it works, not much else because that's all it needs to do is work.

My son LOVES this drive matches up with ASUS laptop and works as promised, very fast and accurate burn, highly recommend.

My son's new pc didnt have an optic drive, but this was fairly cheap and works perfect! Plug and play! No issues at all, installs his disc games and runs them, just hook up the 2 usbs to the top of his pc and it's good to go. I'm glad it comes with its own CD install/driver disc just in case, but it wasnt needed.

This product worked on the first use. I was able to view over 1,000 pages of medical records using this CD-RW Drive on my legal case.

I purchased this item thinking it would be like any other I have used in the past, but oh boy! was I wrong? By comparison to the last one I used a few years back, this is super quiet and software is intuitive and easy to use. As a Microsoft certified systems engineeer, I highly recommend this product. You will not regret the purchase at all not to mention the price and quality hit the target!

Reads fast enough. Easy to connect and set up. Very compact

Best purchase of my life.This computer works flawlessly.Truly a wonderful machine and I use it everyday for digital artwork

This works great for what I use it for. Since my new laptop does not have a DVD/CD slot, I wanted something I could plug into it to play my CDs. It operates easily and works as it should. I haven't had a need to write/rewrite, but for playing, it's perfect.

Worked well for me. I didn't realize it used two USB cables, but I was able to play CDs on my computer with only one of the USB cables plugged in, which was good since my computer doesn't have a second working USB port... That's my only complaint - that it wasn't clear the CD/DVD drive may have needed two ports.

Weight machine I love it and I was easy to use and did exactly what it was supposed to so happy with that

This was an easy install. My only negative on this product is i wish it would have had movie player software instead of just burning software.

Needed and DVD writer in a pinch while visiting Austin TX. This one did the job as needed.

Easy to use external hard drive for any laptop that requires a disc drive for any reasons. So you simply unwrap it, insert USB into the laptop port, and wait for the download; if any before writing or burning CD or disc. Highly recommended for any customers or students looking for a great presentation on a disc!

Bought a new pc and it did not have a cd drive. Needed to load some software that is only available via cd. Found this and have been happy with it. It does what it should. I have not tried to write any data, only read.

this perfect product i've been wanting it makes up for not having a cd-rom player on my desktop and laptop it's like having a good subsitute
