    Most new computers don't come with read/write optical drives any more, but there are still occasions to want one. This is a cost-effective solution.

    It does what I wanted. I have a laptop which does not have a CD/DVD drive, and now I can see all of my photos that I saved on CDs from my old desktop computer.

    I purchased this external USB drive because my new laptop has no DVD driver. It's good to upload software, but not good for DVD player watching movie.
