    Works great for everything except I needed to download a 3rd Party app to play commercial DVDs. The drive comes with an app that was supposed to play most DVDs, but it didn't support the necessary file type. It was adequate for my primary need was to manage files replacing the failed onboard disk drive on my laptop.
