  • Seems kind of flimsy

    Not a lot of reasons to use optical disk drives anymore, but we had some old family videos on DVD we wanted to load onto our computer. Not many to choose from in the store, so we tried this even though it was a bit pricey. The tray seems flimsy and I doubt this would’ve lasted very long. Will probably look for something better.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

  • Great DVD for my bedroom
