    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.

    Very quick ship, item as described in secure packaging. Not sure why I jerked around with other "off brand" items - should have just gone to Best Buy to start with! Excellent on-line customer service rep helped me find exactly what I was looking for.

    Bought a new computer and it didn't have a DVD/CD drive. So I bought this to read my DVDs and CDs. It has worked perfectly, just as I expected.

    Excellent solution to the problem that most consumer laptops on the market today do not have disc drives. Just plug in and go.

    You plug it in and it does what it needs to do. It's a loud, but it works. I hope it holds up.

    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.

    Purchased the item as my disk drive in Gateway computer no longer will read disks. Very easy to use, just plug into computer USB and play, no program downloading/syncing needed.
