Poorly made
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this as a gift for my sister and she was really disappointed, the disc drive had very weak construction and felt flimsy and fragile just touching it, and then it made a horrific, loud noise when we attempted to use it. She was worried it would damage her discs.

Works on Chromebook
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to transfer music files from discs, and it is plug and play with Chromebook while most others aren't. Good deal.
I would recommend this to a friend Worked for a minute...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This External DVD player is the same kind we have at the school where I work. After a few minutes, it stopped working and I couldn't get it started again. I tried EVERYTHING! It could have been user error, but frustrated, I ended up returning it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendOk CD/DVD Drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The CD/DVD drive works well so far. I'm using it to add CDs to my iTunes library and it reads a little slow, but that's ok. I also feel like it's a little too light and flimsy, so I don't know how well it will hold up over time and use.
I would recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Price
Fast, reliable CD Drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The one to buy. Less money than similar drives that offer no increase in performance, just a slightly smaller package.
