    It works as I expected, it gives me options where I can watch movies with my old DVDs and have to pay for streaming all of the time. A plus for working with computers and laptops.

    Sleek, lightweight, and easy to use. Gets disks burned in a tenth of the time of the office PC! That price isn’t too shabby either.

    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.

    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?
