When I purchased my new laptop, I wasn't aware that it didn't have a CD-ROM. This is a great addition.

Nothing special here if you need a disc drive at a decent price it'll do but is bit lackluster. I needed one go this it works for the minumal amount of times I had to use it & still works fine to this day.
If you need one get it cuz at the time this was the cheapiest best quality one I could find in store that I trusted to spend my money on & well was worth it for fact I needed it.

Have only used it to listen to a couple old music CD's and so far it's good. I have not used it to try and watch a movie yet so let's hope it works!
