    No doubt this is a good product, thru a miss understanding about what I needed, I came home with something I could not use. The miss understanding was no doubt my fault, as I didn't fully explain I needed a cd reader as well, The return was great, no problem at all, exchanged for an LG product, which I am very happy with. Thank you Best Buy

    No need to pay a premium for larger storage models of a desktop or laptop, which can add to the price of those machines dramatically. I bought this to house my Apple Photos library on a Mac Mini system. I load several hundred gigabytes of photos linked to iCloud and don't have to take up room in the flash storage of the Mac mini. This way, I also have full size files for easy editing and viewing, etc. I do this for my home and office systems and also my laptop, although because laptops are (usually) always being moved about and turned off and on, an external drive for photos can be an issue sometimes, in that the system seems to occasionally need to reindex the library. But for photos, this is a no brainer if you need more storage.

    The product operates ad expected. It came a cd to download 3rd party software but did not explain that. With the software install I wad not able to copy\burn without paying for an upgrade. So I uninstalled. T he extra software sould have been explained that it was needed to operate but this wad never mentioned. It works fine wth windows media player.

    I was able to use this without any trouble for transferring a few music CD's to my computer, as well as playing a few. I haven't tried a DVD yet, but I assume that also will work well. This is a must, now that computers do not include a CD/DVD tray.

    You need one of these if you purchased the Inspiron 3880 with the solid state hard drive and have games or music on disks. Although it looks like there is a built in drive, it has none. I hooked the external drive up and in a matter of minutes I was all set. Cheap, plugs into USB, solves problem.

    Nice slim, yet should have longer cable. Hard to use in limited space. Works well, except for very intrusive software.

    I wanted an external player for movies and music for my PC and this does the job. My PC is a Dell also so it is a nice match but not necessary. I also like shopping at Best Buy because you can find salespeople who can actually answer questions for you unlike most other stores.
