    My laptop didn't have a disc drive but I decided I needed one. This was not the most expensive one and not the cheapest one either. It works very well.

    It worked great for me right out of the box, and has continued to do so. The unit is very light weight, but the case and mechanism seem robust and smooth-working.

    My old cd writer stopped working. Did some research and found this one available at my local store. Picked it up and had it working on my Dell in no time.
