    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 couldn’t believe my new computer didn’t come with a slot for a disk. Thankfully this unit didn’t cost too much and it does exactly what I need it to do.

    Reliable, error free reading, and extremely fast. CD Tray seems a little flimsy. I just was not sure how long the disk tray would last. So I brought it back and purchased an LG Slim Blade super drive.

    I am taking this back for a refund. The tray that holds the disk is very flimsy and you have to press the disk into the center spindle and then pull it off to remove the disk. What ever happened to the simple trays that you would just set the disk into the tray?

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
