    Not many uses for CD-ROMs these days. Most computers these days don’t come with one. Every once in a while there is a need for one though. Having an external drive is nice. It’s a very quiet drive. Read speeds are as described. Works great!

    I love this little DVD player. My new HP desktop did not have an optical player and I do watch DVDs from time to time on the computer and this does the job well at a modest price. I did my research and this is the best one out there for this price range...

    I had to move files from a laptop to my computer and couldn’t use an USB drive because of security protocols. This little drive was just the tool to accomplish what I needed. It was quick, quiet and easy to install.

    This works as a nice back up to my failing disc drive in my computer or for my notebook when I want to upload stored data or music. It does its job, and it does it well.

    Received the new PC about 2 days ago. Looks like it is a keeper. Very happy with the machine itself - performs very well. I am having issues with loading in the software for the various flight simulators. Don't fully understand the technology. Other than that, no complaints.

    For the price I paid, this works really well. It is quiet and light weight. I have used it to back up my pictures and I use it to make mp3's of my Cd's (Yes I still have those)

    This was very simple to use. Opened the box, plugged it in and my Windows 10 system set it all up and I was able to start ripping CDs and DVDs. Simple to use. I will not use this item very often but it was inexpensive and works. I am satisfied.

    Didn't use it a lot, but so far so good. The CD player in my computer stopped working when a newer version of Win10 was installed. Techs said the newer version wasn't compatible with it. The Asus works with it.

    Sweet little drive. Two types USB cable provided. Discovered I needed an external drive when building new PC. New case doesn't have bays. :-( Anyway, nice device, works quietly and is rather speedy for reading but I haven't tried writing anything.

    DVD drive works great but requires 2 USB ports. I wish the website had made this more apparent as I would have preferred a drive that only needed one port.
