    Exchanged this portable CD/DVD drive for the LG - 8x External Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW SuperMulti Blade Drive in silver to match my silver HP laptop. Like it so much better how the CD inserts inside the drive versus a tray to set the CD on and then close the tray. Very quick and easy to use. Have yet to burn a CD with it. Main use has been for loading programs and music into laptop.
