    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

    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.

    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

    Last time Best Buy sells me a used item as new.

    Ordered a cd drive as no laptop now comes with one internal. Got the item. Box half full torn open. Everything crammed inside the box from someone returning it. At the time of purchase they had open box options for cheaper. I wanted a new one. I paid for a new one. But what I received was a scratched and throughly used drive. It works just looks like I bought it and stored it in a bag of gravel. This will definitely be my last purchase with Best Buy. This review is more about purchasing from Best Buy online. This drive appears to have survived a battle. So definitely purchase this drive if you need to read a disc while in a foxhole.

    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.
