    Hard to review. Bought it so we could have a dvd drive when we needed. New computer came without one. For some of us a dvd drive is a must have.

    Use this to both burn CD's and play them at home and at work. Yes there are still DVD's/CD's out in the world and not having the slot for them anymore is a pain.
