    This drive was purchased for my new laptop that did not have a optical media drive in it. Works great for ripping music into iTunes and for installing software. It's powered by the USB it connects to your computer with.

    You have to intall all this third party software to view video and photos, also the software on the disk felt like if it was a virus with malware and spyware. it is a very unsecure progam. I dont thing anybody should put the software on their computer, but the hardware itself is great.
