    Basic external DVD drive. It gets the job done. Good price for those rare times when you need to read a disc on your computer.

    Works great. Not too big. Very happy with this product. Since laptops don't seem to come with a dvd drive nowadays, this was a very good purchase at a good price.

    I bought this so I could play my (antique) collection of CDs, as the newer computers no longer incorporate a CD player. It was reasonably priced and works just fine. I've had no problems with it at all.
