    Works as expected. Fairly quiet. Very light so taking on trips is possible.

    Instructions are almost non-existent but it does not matter as it is really plug and play. Not sure I'd install the free cd that comes with it. You have to purchase some of the programs. But the cd reader works great.

    I used this to load-up over 500 photos-both Raw and Jpeg- with no issues. It worked like champ. When running a video tutorial disc it did make some serious speed noise, cycling on and off. It suits my needs. I use it with an ASUS 2-in-1.

    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.

    Nowadays alot of laptops dont come with CDs or DVDs players/burners anymore. This was a great way to continue to rip my CDs and/or burn them if needed. It plugs in with a simple USB and is super easy to use! Love it!

    When my laptop onboard DVD/CD player stopped operating, my first action was to see what was available at Best Buy. I ordered online and picked up the new DVD/CD player less than one hour later. It was operational less than one minute after plugging it into USB port.

    Most laptops do not come with a DVD/ Cd drive anymore. This works great when you need to go old school and use a dics.

    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.

    Easy to use, portable. Plays the discs easily. I don't really have fifty words for a portable disc drive. This requirement should be reviewed if you really want feedback. Only twenty nine words. Oh well, what more can I say. The price was reasonable. It was recommended by the Geek squad tech

    I needed this item to down load a program on my computer and it worked fine and is easy to use. I will probably be using it again since my new computer does not have disc drive to down load programs.

    Set-up of this device was better than expected. As an external component, it works well with the desktop computer.
