    Don’t need it often but when I have something on disk that I need to access in my laptop this is a necessity. Works great!

    Needed this product due to having, now considered, "old school" DVD's. I have a ton and love to watch on my computer, so I needed this product. The product is incredibly easy to use and set up is very easy too. I highly recommend if you enjoy using your DVD's.

    Had to buy one of these for my new desktop that no longer has a built in dvd drive. Needed it to keep loading up my collection of CDs onto my hard drives drives. Works great. Plug in and it played and loaded. Very easy. Watched a dvd as well on this and worked fine also. Have not used it to rip any cd or dvd as I do not do such. Reasonably priced as well.

    Laptop was a hard decision. Wanted DVD player. Sales clerk told me about this DVD plug and Play. I was reluctant, however I purchased it. I have only used it once. Due to space on my desk I had to disconnect it. It is easy to re-connect whenever I need to use it. It was a good addition to my laptop. However too much to pack up when transporting laptop. Nice for when needed.
