    My DVD player on the laptop stopped working, this was an inexpensive fix. Plug and play, no muss no fuss. Lightweight and portable, and super inexpensive.

    My internal unit quit working, I saw this on sale and bought it online. Got notified it was ready for pickup and went the following day. This will be handy since it's external and I can use it on a couple of my machines.

    When i bought my new computer i wanted to be able to watch movies. Since laptops no longer contain built in cd drives this was the cheapest alternative. It works really well for what i wanted. All i had to do was download some additional software. If you buy this item make sure when using it that you push the disk all the way down or it won't play correctly.

    This device has been very useful since most computers nowadays are not coming with an internal drive. My job requires me to use CDS but the work computers no longer have the drive so purchasing one of these for on-the-go job assignments has been the best decision for me. The diced is slim so it can fit it all of my purses and not take up too much room. I recommended putting the USB cord in a ziploc to keep it from getting broken or messed up.

    This is a handy item to have because apparently the laptop manufacturers believe the laptop is connected to the cloud or you own USB versions of Software or Driver Data. Not everything is safe on the cloud for backup as well. A CD is perfect for items that you do not want stored in the cloud.

    This portable drive replaces the onboard drives that computers used to provide as a matter of course. It works well as avertised.
