    With most of the new lap tops coming out without a DVD writer, this unit was a great add on. Very reasonable price and performance. No issues, worked first time, computer recognized it.

    Unlike my old laptop, my new laptop doesn't have a CD drive. This compact DVD/CD drive is small enough to store in my laptop case.

    New laptops do not include internal DVD/CDROM drives. This is a great add-on for a reasonable price. You can stash it in your case in the off-chance you need to look at data, burn, listen to a CD/movie on your travels.

    Extremely happy with an external plug in for my viewing CD needs. I am using this as external peripheral with my smart tv to play blue ray and DVD. This comes with a bonus feature of writing as well. Great buy on a deal at Best buy @20 bucks . Can't go wrong with that.
