    Very easy to use and pretty quick. Seems very fragile and is a Fingerprint MAGNET.

    Bought this to go with an Asus Tuf gaming laptop. Had a few older games that were on disc that needed to be installed. Complete plus and play. This drive needs to be connected to 2 USB ports to work properly. I have watched DVD’s on the laptop with this with zero problems. It also quickly downloads games to the laptop. No complaints whatsoever.

    It does have 2 usb connections which I happen to have available on my pc. I had purchased a different brand which didn't work at all. This one worked on everything I tried. So pleased.

    Since laptops these days have no built in drive this external DVD has come in very useful. It is faster to install a software program with a CD than it is to download from a website.

    This unit has "two cables"; one for the unit and one for power. One cable goes into the computer and the other for power. Please read this information before you purchase. You need a power source besides the cable into the computer. The “two” cables are USB A; you have to understand what you are buying. We were able to send CD music to computer, save (from computer to write on CD, DVD) Very easy Mac compatible. Has disc for PC. Thank you Best Buy for having it on sale.

    This was desperately needed to play an older dvd-rom of very nostalgic film footage. I could not find any current product I had including blu-ray that could play the content. This played seamlessly and perfectly to my laptop! Perfect.

    This was purchased because the ASUS Tower that I purchased couldn't accommodate an internal Read/Write drive and I need that option so this took care of that need at a reasonable price
