    I like the size. I had to get used to keeping track of the connecting cable as I have it plugged in to a computer that has no external drive for music, movies etc. The drive has done all I have asked of it so far.

    My new Dell laptop doesn't have dvd/cd rom. Wanted to play the old “Need for Speed” with cds. Satisfied with this external cd rom.

    I bought it because my new desktop does not have a CD RW and I still have a lot of stuff on CD’s. Works fine. Will need to wait to see how durable it is.

    It's nice to have a way to view and copy/write to dvd since it's hard to find one built into a laptop.
