    This is a very lightweight drive, but it works perfectly well for my needs (ripping music and audiobooks). It's so lightweight it may feel flimsy to some, but I like that it's not heavy at all.

    Received item as expected. Didn't have any issues with it. Do wish I'd first tried to see if it would work without installing the included software. But I didn't and everything works well.

    I have some old software that I needed to install on a new computer. Of course, new computers no longer have DVD drives. This external drive worked fine with my new computer.
