    Works good, but it does seem to have some issues with playing an "enhanced DVD" like Ice Age 3 for some reason.

    I needed an exterior CD player. I have many CDs of family photos and this worked seamlessly. I'm glad I can get equipment to use all my "old" ways.

    There are faster portable Optical Drives out there, but this one does the job as advertised. Picked it up at the same time I bought my new Dell Laptop that didn't come with an optical drive. Keep it around just in case I need to load some old software.
