    I bought this to install a Microsoft Suite for a laptop that did not have a drive. This worked perfectly and you can store it when not in use.

    This was first external DVD drive I had bought in a few years. Man, things have changed. It's the size of a DVD case. Just plug it in via USB and it's good to go.

    Yes, its a USB DVD drive. In case you forgot to put one in your new tower. It does what it needs to, and little else. Haven't had any problems otherwise.

    I purchased this because I have a newer laptop that does not have a CD DVD drive internally. I needed to load some software onto my computer. This definitely does the trick. It's also convenient for viewing DVDs on the same type of laptop!
