I would recommend this to a friendThis is a must if you get a new desk top
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you purchase a new desk top PC, they no longer come with DVD/CD drives. This is a must and it works as it should. It was instrumental when I had to reload programs from the old to the new PC.
I would recommend this to a friendWorks great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is a must since most new computers don't have a drive now. Still a lot of times need a DVD or CD that needs to be used in spite of all the streaming. Does not need external power, just plug in to computer.
I would recommend this to a friendPlug & play?
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I guess plug & play isn't as simple as it used to be. At one time, when you plugged in a device to your computer, a box popped up on your screen asking what you wanted to do with it. No more. I had to do a search to find it and then go through a confusing menu in order to se it...Not use4 friendly.

Great for DVD/CD's
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Finally was able to get a good External DVD/CD-RW Drive to run my embroidery pattern discs for my new computer that doesn't come with a CD drive anymore. A stupid practice for the laptop manufacturers.

I was able to load my Turbo Tax on my new PC without any problem. The plug and Play was a little slow but I reconnected it and away it went. Great Value

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wanted an external drive and this is perfect as new laptops don't come with one. Has a longer cord about 18" than other ones. Got it on sale for half price-can't beat that.

I would recommend this to a friendDVD drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Computers don't come with one of these any more. If you have old programs or DVDs you want to rip, one of these is essential. This one has now worked reliably for many months.
