    Proved to be all I needed to add a DVD to my new HP All-In-One. Not very sturdily built, but it plugged right in, my HP recognized it immediately, and I placed it square underneath the screen between the supports and it has worked well for months.

    My last DVD Drive was built into the desktop which is preferable, but you can't have everything. The Drive works quite well and is easy to push into a corner when not needed.

    Amazed at how small this is compared to an older external drive I have. Hardly used any space. Can place it on top of computer where it is out of the way.

    We bought my son a new Dell laptop that didn't come equipped with a DVD drive. We bought this drive so we could load software & he can watch movies. It works exceptionally well & he is very happy.

    I needed an external disc DVD/CD drive but not ridiculously pricey. For when I get a newer or nused laptop. It works brilliantly. You have to install the software that comes with it in order to use the disc player. But that's all good.
