    A must have for loading older CD-Rom disc programs onto newer PC's that don't have a drive. I can continue to use my old MS Office, which was quite expensive back in the day, but still has all the features I need without upgrading.

    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.

    Easy install. Works great. The software included, however, is an older version and doesn't work. - but that is only for creating projects.

    The small size is a plus since it doesn't take up much space. It worked fine but is a little noisy to be so small. LOL

    Great external DVD player and writer. Just plug in and load software. Cord was supposed to come with it, but was missing. No big deal for me as I had an extra one to fit. I could play, install and burn dvd's to and from my computer. Overall pleased with player/writer as it accomplishes my needs.
