    Mom needed it for something. Store manager discounted it because the model I initially wanted was out of stock but was showing in stock, so they discounted it to the price of the other model.

    Love the cyberlink software dvd that came with the drive. Makes it easy to use, play, edit and copy digital media. I've made many copies and no problems so far. Would recommend and buy again.

    Admittedly, I have not used this product, but it's good to have since my Acer laptop does not have a slot for DVDs. It was handy recently when I wanted remove quite a few large videos which were consuming a lot of space on my old computer.

    Got a new PC & discovered no slot on new item to make cd's of old photos so bought his item. It works well & was inexpensive & not hard to use for a senior.

    Love this external drive! Installation was simple. I bought a new desktop computer that unfortunately did not include a disc drive. I shuttered at the thought of buying an external drive. However, it was inexpensive and works great! Easy to use and does not take up a lot of space. Has become one of my favorite devices.

    Great product - laptops don’t have built in cd players anymore but everyone has files on cd’s. This product is plug and play, and very light and portable. You can just plug it when you need it, and put it in a drawer when you don’t.

    Since my computer doesn't have a built-in drive, I had to buy this exterior drive. It works very well, no skips or other problems. I'll see if it lasts in the long run.
