    Does the job it was purchased for. USB 2.0 is a bummer, other connections weren't an option with laptops these days.

    Works as advertised, which can't be said for another CD/DVD portable drive I purchased several weeks before this purchase. Was plug-n-play on three different Win10 systems I tried it on using data CD's, data DVD's and movie DVD's.

    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.
