    With today's new laptops that don't have an optical drive, this drive is a must. I am very satisfied. The drive works exactly as described. I highly recommend.

    Light enough to carry with my new Asus 13.3 laptop the salesperson said it would only work with PC computers. I used it to install some old software on CDs it worked well and also transferring music from CDs worked well too.

    The external drive works pretty well for the money. On occasion it wants to be a little stubborn and not automatically pop up on screen. However, I usually eject and reinsert the disc and it works.
