    If you're like me, you have a few things you haven't converted to a hard drive/flash drive. There aren't any bells & whistles, in the looks department, but it does the trick.

    I don't recommend this device because . it does not work properly. If that CD has a tiny scratch it won't read it. So buy a better one not this one
