    We got this because our new computer didn't come with a disc tray. And my husband wanted to play old Star Wars games from disc's. This was exactly what we needed at a good price.

    This comes in handy since most of the NEW laptops omit the CD Writer/ROM now but cost even more. Im glad they make these external ones so I have the option again.

    I bought this because my new laptop doesn't have a CD/DVD drive in it. This worked like a charm. Simply plug and play and you're good to go. It also came with some CD burning software. I haven't used it, but it looked pretty easy to use.

    Does what it says. Easy to use. Easy to store. I use it to play really old obsolete format CDs, mostly collectable early stuff from local bands.

    Worked fine for awhile. Then my Mac refused to recognize it. It's the chip in the new Macs. Not ASUS fault, it's Apple whose products I refuse to purchase because they force you to buy their updates.

    I had trouble with many other city burners before but this one was great because even if it was a little on balance like on a bed while you burn the CD it still works and others didn't and also is much more durable than others used before

    I ordered this item for pick up, but it took an extremely long time, so a best buy salesperson (Alexander) took the time get the item for me. The unit works fine I would recommend.

    Good for the price .. didn't need bells and whistles so this was the perfect purchase. Works well although quite fragile so be careful when loading and unloading CD's or DVD's

    My son wanted this for his video games to add more storage. He loves that he said he has plenty of room and the value was good for the money after his research a finding a good one that wasn't too expensive.

    This was SO easy to use. Just plug it in and go. I had old CDs of photos and documents that I needed to access and our IT guy recommended this CD/DVD reader. It was great. Well worth the money.
