    The thin plastic shell can be a bit frail if you travel a lot and need to carry it around. There’s a tiny catch inside to hold the ejector in; it broke once but can easily be fixed with glue. There really isn’t much to ask for from a disk drive, unless you plan on throwing it around like a football.

    Fast delivery - works great, just plug and play. Reasonable price. The only drawback is it doesn't play Blu-rays.

    Wonderful!! Now I'll always have my CD's available and not have to worry about a DVD player that is on my Dell laptop or Desktop breaking again. Works just perfect. Love it!

    This external drive is an add on for my new 2 in 1 laptop. While I have always had a built in optical reader the new one doesn’t have one. So I bought this. It’s really too early to report on any possible downside, this was a great deal at Best Buy and I expect no problems

    In the process of decluttering some rooms, we changed some of the electronics in the house. This laptop is replacing one that was at least 6 years old that had seen better days. I am very pleased with the one we purchased. It is sufficient for everything that I need one for.
