    I needed a CD-DVD player for my new computer. The sales person knew exactly what i needed. He took me to the player section, gave me the player. My purchase was completed, and i was on my way in 15 minutes.

    I miss internal CD/Internal drives. However, this product does the job. I am a bit old school. While I will download software and so on, I also like the option of using disks to install software or play movies or music. This product does the job.

    I bought this because I have a new computer without an optical drive and I needed to be able to install software or reinstall at a later date. Works quite well for this and easily packed up and put away when it's not in use.

    Purchased to provide backup due to losses from a previous computer crash. This drive is efficient, takes up little space, and provides the security we were looking for.

    It does exactly what you want it to do, and it was plug and play as described. Given its price, this is a great deal.

    I needed an exterior CD player. I have many CDs of family photos and this worked seamlessly. I'm glad I can get equipment to use all my "old" ways.

    This DVD drive does what it claims at an affordable price. It comes with software that could help you use the drive, but personally I rather use a different choice of software with this drive.

    There are faster portable Optical Drives out there, but this one does the job as advertised. Picked it up at the same time I bought my new Dell Laptop that didn't come with an optical drive. Keep it around just in case I need to load some old software.

    Had it for more than a month now. So far so good with no issue. I use it for both my desktop and laptop. Easy to use, with the USB port you can easily plug or unplug.
