||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Called local Best Buy- the employee was outstanding in explaining to make the purchase by phone. Later received the txt message the purchase was ready. Pulled up and parked at the designated space- with less than a minute- purchase was placed in the back of my SUV. Excellent experience ! ! !
I would recommend this to a friendDoes what it's supposed to
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A bit on the flimsy side. The mechanism that allow for the door to open seems sorta sketchy. But, it was recognized immediately and functions when I hooked it up.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat Value, Super thin & light!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.ZenDrive is very ultra thin & light. Easy to use. Great software bundle come with the package. The one thing I don't like is the CD tray. It feels like easy to break it because the size of the drive. Overall is excellent.

I would recommend this to a friendvroom spins fast
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.the usb-c interface is just an old usb cable with the other end replaced but otherwise it's loud as hell, spins the disc so fast the drive moves around my desk, and gets scratched easily. but it also plays movies on a computer, the only way to do that
I would recommend this to a friendWould definitely recommend!

A Laptop Necessity
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As many laptops no longer come with a disk drive an external one can be a necessity and this thing definitively does the job.
I would recommend this to a friendNeeded for a new desktop
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My new computer didn’t have a dvd/cd option available and I still needed one. This unit fit the bill and the usb-c connection was nice.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat product
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product! Especially for the price. Works with my 2017 MacBook Pro. A little loud when playing DVDs but imported music from a CD quickly.
I would recommend this to a friendWhy not get a CD drive
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quick buy while I was walking out but figured with most computers not having CD drives it was worth a pickup.
I would recommend this to a friendNeeded extras.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed a DVD player for my laptop because my new one doesn't have it. Bought this one and is capable to do all the things I want. Very nice product and very good price.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its a nice product. Responsive and connected without any problems with my Mac. Excellent price.
I would recommend this to a friendWorks well lacks features
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would have preferred a drive at this price to have something that makes it different from cheaper generic brands like a motorized tray, but it works well for what it says it does.
I would recommend this to a friendBargain price, bargain quality
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works as described, but is very light and flimsy. Exterior is thin plastic, thus I wouldn't recommend putting it in a backpack or any other soft case for travel. Otherwise great device for the price.
