This tiny DVD drive is exactly what I needed, Laptops and the likes don't come with DVD drives anymore, and USB plug and play version not only fills the void, it was relatively cheap. The shelf holding the DVD is a little delicate, so there is need to be careful, but other than that, you can't beat it!

Perfect addition for my laptop without an Optical Drive. I love the fact that this slim drive is Plug & Play. I trust the brand and it works as advertised. This allows me to have the best of both worlds- a laptop that weighs much less and I still have the ability to have an optical drive.

I bought this DVD drive since I was getting into physical media and the old computer I used to burn CDs broke. And overall this drive is good. I use both Mac and Windows and the drive works fine with both. It can read and write, but the only downside I've found with it was that it's a bit loud and the plastic feels a little cheap. Overall an 8.5/10 drive.

My new PC doesn't have a CD/DVD drive so I bought this. It's sooooo simple. Plug it in, turn on the computer, pop in a CD or DVD, sit back and enjoy. Perfect example of plug and play.

I am enjoying my cd/dvd player. Once I updated my car, there was no cd player. I thoroughly enjoy hearing my favorite hits again as well as watching DVDs. Screen and volume are excellent!

I bought this drive mainly to record my vast CD collection onto Apple Music/iTunes on my desktop & iphone. So far I have recorded over 185 albums without issue. The price I paid was very reasonable, also. I do recommend this product.

Needed a DVD reader for my laptop move files from disc to SSD . Works well and matched my Dell laptop. Haven't written to disc yet so I can't say how good the writing capabilities are

It's a great, easy to use DVD/CD burner. I needed this since neither my desktop or laptop has a CD drive. It's VERY easy to use. All you need is to plug it in. The program disc is only for third party products and is not necessary. All you need to do is plug it into your computer.

With all of the laptop manufacturers ditching CD/DVD read/write equipment from their laptop lineups, including Apple, you need this drive to read or write optical discs. This is a must have and this drive is a gold standard of how a drive should be built.
Light, small, and dependable. Compatible with MAC and Windows and USB means it's going to work on anything.

This is a friendly user external DVD/CD-RW drive. It's slim so it's a nice small unit. I used it several times to play an old family CD, but I will be using it for storing photos on a CD as well.

This is a great little product. If you're looking for something reasonably priced and reliable, I don't think you could go wrong. It's nice that it's plug and play as my and the husband's computer skills are a bit rusty.
