    I bought this because I had a program that I wanted to put on my laptop and my homework ran off a CD. It works great for what it is but the short cord and noise can sometimes be a hassle.

    I bought this instead of a really cheap version from a foreign company, and I'm glad I did. This disc drive is fragile enough as it is, and recoils a lot when opening the tray, so I can only imagine how bad the cheaper one would be. Thankfully everything runs fine. I've tried DVD's and CD's, as well as game discs and all have worked fine. It comes with a media installation disc so you needn't have to worry about not playing movies or anything like that. A bit expensive but if you really want to save internal computer space for other things, yet need CD's/DVD's badly, this is a great purchase.

    Easy install. Works great. The software included, however, is an older version and doesn't work. - but that is only for creating projects.

    Since most laptops do not have a DVD drive this add-on will do the trick! It is portable, very light, and plug and play! A really good bang for the buck!
