    Great for computers and chrome books to watch movies since the new computers do not have a cd drive you can use it to install programs into your computer.

    This little DVD player works great. I use it for safety classes as most laptops don't have DVD players built in.

    This external storage unit has done a great job of relieving storage issues on our system. Let's hope in 2 years when we need to recover something it works as well.

    I don't recommend this device because . it does not work properly. If that CD has a tiny scratch it won't read it. So buy a better one not this one

    This device for the most part sat. But after my son died it allowed for us to transfer the pictures we got of him to print. Definitely a life saver.

    So many laptops no longer come with a CD/DVD drive and as someone who has a LOT of CDs with music, I really needed this in case I lost my files. This drive has come in handy already. While it's not a high speed burner, its still works rather quickly from my experience.

    I am pleased with the disc drive. The slim size fits nicely on the base of my computer and the black color blends in. The price was great, too.

    I bought a new computer without a dvd drive so i purchased this with it. I thought it would be a plug and play. You apparently need to download a program to watch dvds. I will have to research it a little bit to find what is the best.
