    Excellent add on. Add an external DVD/CD drive to any laptop not equipped to enable continue using CD/DVD features.

    Does what it's supposed to do. Useful for laptops without a drive. Obviously can play CDs or burn audio off the computer.

    I use it to down load screen savers, and down loading software for program applications. Also reviewing old files that I saved in years past when all data was stored on a CD's or DVD's.

    i just plugged it into usb port and laptop started playing cd right away. still working. no problems. haven't tried dvd or writing to it yet, though, just listening to music cd's so far. noticed new cars don't have cd player. hoping when i have to get new car, that this will plug into port and be just as immediately functional.

    I've used this external drive with a Latitude 3810 (W10 Pro), an Inspiron 5373 (W10 Home) and an Asus KMA200 (originally W8, upgraded to W10 Home). Plug and play, no performance issues. If you want to use it to watch a DVD movie, you'll need to get VLC or another media player. W10 no longer has an internal DVD player. VLC seems to be the industry norm, and it works will.
