  • External Optical Drive Get The Job Done.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    It gets the job done and was well worth the reasonable price. Optical drive that was built into my laptop died. This one is both powered and interfaces via a USB port. Interface is slightly slower than the original drive. Now that modern laptops are no longer equipped with optical drives, the device has a future in my household as well.
