    This drive was purchased to install optical disc based software on a new SurfaceBook. It gets the job done, but it is quite slow. Probably the best available for this reasonable price, and it actually works with the SurfaceBook which is something many of the drives available can't say. I can't recommend it without disclaimer, but I could recommend it with the understanding of its limitations.

    A good device, truly plug and play. The included software works as stated, I'm sure the upgraded versions would be even more versatile. All-in-all I'm happy and would recomend this.

    This external USB Slim DVD Drive is slim, compact, and portable. My recently purchased laptop doesn't have a DVD drive, so I purchased this as an add-on. It is pretty good quality. Setup was very easy, simply plug and play (like a USB thumb drive) on my laptop that runs Windows 10.

    Easy to use plug and play. Needed to download the disc for my new printer. The online install failed to work because it keep interrupting the internet. This was the same price as purchasing help, but is a better value since I can use it whenever it is needed (like games on disc).
