    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.

    Great little external dvd/cd drive. Plays cds well without a lot of noise. Haven't tried to write cd yet. Includes both type connecter cords, Seems very light weight & fragile, but it does the job well.

    I have a laptop that cannot play dvd and this gadget here has been a life saver. It works really well and it really helped with my presentation on our Zoom training. I really recommend this.

    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.

    I just needed a method to copy and transfer old files from disc to Digital drive and this worked great. Even with some more damaged ones. Worked on MacBook with no extra downloads.

    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.
