    I purchased this unit solely due to the desktop computer I recently purchased didn't have a DVD player installed. I needed this player to install various software programs onto the hard drive and this unit worked nicely for that purpose. I have yet to test it with other uses it is designed for.

    I needed an external cd/dvd player for the computer that I bought. So I got this one. It works, the only complaint is that it is a little noisy. I am not familiar with very many external cd/dvd players, but I think it could a lot quieter.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Is it okay if you want to watch movies on you computer/laptop, or on the Wii. And is great for burning dual layer DVDs.
