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.

Does what it is supposed to do. A little slow compared to others but I didn't have high expectations. I am slightly disappointed with the speed but wasn't expecting to do too many copies.

Works but vibrates and moves around when on a hard surface. I placed it on a soft pad and it doesn’t move or make a buzzing noise. Debating on whether I am returning to store.

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
