    Bought this as an external drive for the Windows machines, to address the rare occasions when we need them... Used it to load HR Block during tax time, Easy to set up and did the job.

    I forgot about a disk drive while building a PC

    I bought this because when I built my PC recently, a disk drive didn't even come to mind and I was around for the end of the floppy disk era lol. I needed this to run diagnostic CDs that I have and some drivers you have to use a CD for. Plug and play. I rarely use it so it stays in the box and goes back in after use so I can't attest to a stress test although I wouldn't recommend dropping it.
