    I was very worried about this product. It's my first time not having an internal CD/DVD drive, and this device just seemed very flimsy. But I have already put it through a lot of use and it has performed great. My only fear is that it won't be able to stand the test of time, but I'm also sure most people are not importing as much music to their computer off of CD's as I am. I have had no issues with the quality of the transfers, nor the speed. So far, I am a fan of this device and the price is fantastic.

    Giving this item 4 stars since I had to return it. For whatever reason I couldn’t get my MacBook Air to recognize it. Would have given it 5 stars but didn’t get to use the dvd drive.

    With everything being digital online or in the cloud there isn't too much use for dvd writers/players but purchased it in case I need to use a dvd. I tested this with some blank dvd's and the writing speed is good.
