    Nice slim, yet should have longer cable. Hard to use in limited space. Works well, except for very intrusive software.

    Handy Item

    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.

    Easy to use USB CD rom drive. Bought this to use with my laptop since it doesn’t have a CD drive. Small and definitely a good portable size that would fit in a laptop case easily.

    I bought this external drive since most new laptops don’t carry this embedded within anymore. Does it’s job, not too expensive. Light, not bulky. Would recommend.

    Slim, but very nice and helpful. It also works like a star. One thing I’m not in it is, it’s over priced.

    It's easy to use and portable, with an affordable price. What I like the most is it can play movies on my laptop. My previous drive didn't; it just downloaded the software.

    Bought two of these and they both perform great for what I use them for. Would buy them again if needed. They are also nice and small, so a person could travel with them if needed.
