    Great way to retain optical media capability when you upgrade to a new desktop. Most desktops don’t include a DVD ROM drive any longer. Works great and super cheap.

    The quality of the image and sound of DVDs and CDs plays nicely on my computer. When I replaced my old computer, I was saddened that the newer ones don't have DVDs or CDs anymore. This product was reasonably priced, easy to use, and the quality of video and sound is excellent.

    Device is solid, no issues yet with ripping and burning CDs. The on-board software is clunky, asks you to pay to upgrade it. Just use Windows Media Player instead...

    Since all modern laptops are coming without cd/dvd, I realized to keep one external drive for emergency situation, when I will need something which I have only on a disk. Works smoothly and fast.
