    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.

    This is a very lightweight drive, but it works perfectly well for my needs (ripping music and audiobooks). It's so lightweight it may feel flimsy to some, but I like that it's not heavy at all.

    I have some old software that I needed to install on a new computer. Of course, new computers no longer have DVD drives. This external drive worked fine with my new computer.

    I was told this gadget would translate music files to a JP3 file, but it doesn't. But, it is a good portable disk player for computers with out one built in .

    Purchased this drive with my new laptop so that I could use it to listen to my cd collection and watch my dvd collection. The drive works well but my laptop won’t load the software so I had to download Microsoft media player in order to use it!
