    My internal unit quit working, I saw this on sale and bought it online. Got notified it was ready for pickup and went the following day. This will be handy since it's external and I can use it on a couple of my machines.

    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.

    Works well. A little on the noisy end but overall good product. Hasn't had issues with dropped data when ripping CDs like a different brand I used in the past.

    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.
