    A great addition to my son's desktop computer. Allows him to use his DVD's even though the computer didn't come with a disc drive,

    It's like it was part of the lap top

    The only drawback of my new lap top is that it didn't have a built in CD/DVD player. This device operates smoothly and interacts with the lap top as if it were built in. I love it.

    The external DVD/CD drive was an effective and easy way to load software to my laptop. The UBS connection was easy and the drive functioned as expected.

    The DVD drive in my DEL computer stopped working so I needed an inexpensive, quick fix. I plugged it in and loaded the program that came with it and am now up and running again.

    With most laptops there is no DVD drive. An external hard drive is a good solution. But since it will be only infrequently used, this product does the job at a good price. It is flimsy and not for heavy users.
