    This was a reasonably priced drive - I am one of those old school people that wishes computers came with a DVD/CD drive. So far it has worked well for ripping CDs, etc. Have not tried to do too much writing.

    I wasn't sure about this product before i bought it, but i needed a plug & play DVD read/write to install microsoft office that i had on DVD. I was relieved when all i had to do was plug it in and it was ready with nothing else to do. My newest computer purchase has no DVD drive at all so this was a grest purchase. Works wonderfully
