    Small, light, plug and play and arrived at store on time. A handy little portable optical drive.

    Entry level drive, manage your expectations.

    First off, this is an entry level drive, so if you're looking for Blu-ray or fast write times, look elsewhere. I bought it to add software to my desktop, as manufacturers just aren't building disk drives into desktops as standard issue anymore. It is light plastic; not sure it would survive a drop from distance. With the expectation of a basic drive it performs fairly well. Biggest "con" is that the cord that comes out of the box is extremely short.

    Plug & Play. Pretty easy setup. Most modern PCs don’t come with a disc-drive so this is a simple solution.
