    This drive has been added to many others that we use as well as the computer HD. We have had this drive for a couple of years and it works without issue.

    Exactly what I wanted! I ordered online after maneuvering exceptionally simple to use BB website. Easy to compare prices, check specs, etc. Picked up product (curbside!) within 2 days. Awesome! For any and all electronics, BB is my go-to!

    Bought this because my laptop doesn't have a CD drive. I'm old school and still like playing CD music--especially older music--and transferring the files to my phone. This EDD does exactly what I need it to do and it was a great price. Thanks, Best Buy!

    I use my computer with embroidery files for my embroidery machine and have some earlier designs that are on CD and wanted to be able to still use them. Unfortunately, not many new laptops have the drive. When I told the salesman, he suggested this.

    WORKS AS INTENDED AND THE PRICE WAS RIGHT. i KNOW THERE IS NOT MUCH OF A NEED FOR THESE ANYMORE, BUT i DO LIKE MY OLD pc PUZZLE GAMES AND THIS DRIVE MAKES IT easy to play the disc I already own rather than buying a new disc.

    I purchased this for my son’s computer, that does not have a drive or place to install one. Most everything these days come as a download or on a USB but when you really need a disk drive but, when you need a disk drive this on e performs great.

    This is a great device to use with my laptop. It is a little noisy, but not as bad as some other ones. It seems to work well so far and hope it continues to do so. I do recommend it.

    Plays blurays without having to get extra software

    Even though it didn't specifically come with bluray software - only with something called a BD advisor - the Cyberlink PowerDVD software can play blurays, thankfully. The only issue I seem to have now is that my computer doesn't always recognize the drive as plugged in when I start up, so I have to sometimes unplug and replug it to get the drive recognized. Otherwise, I haven't had a problem.
