    Actually it is very easy to use this mini external Optical Drive. Just hook it up to the USB port of your computer and it takes care of the rest.

    Don't hesitate because this drive is so small. Great build and USB powered makes very handy. It's not build like a tank so use some common sense.

    Although it works well and is easy to use, there is a slight problem. In order to enable the DVD, you have to buy a driver. This was unexpected and annoying.
