    Very useful. We needed to have our main computer repaired and wanted to make sure we had all of our data backed up in case the computer had to be reset to factory settings.

    Does the job and it super easy to set up - just plug it in and it works. It's great to have one of these around the house for the occasional software purchased that comes on disc that you need to load to several laptops.

    Bought in order to install CD versions of older games that I like to play on my new laptop. Easy, and inexpensive plug and play for those few games that I play throughout the year.

    This CD drive seems to work well with my laptop and my desktop. It connected right away, with WIndows 10 on the laptop and Windows 7 on the desktop. Data transfer rate is slower than the built-in drives on my desktop and old laptop, but it works well enough to use to install software on my new Lenovo laptop, which is why I bought it.

    Truly plug and play. easy set up and intuitive to use. Since most computers do not come with CD/DVD player, this is a must for recording and burning CD's or watching a movie.

    This is a handy cd drive and invaluable for use with computers without cd drives and for those of us with a great many cds with photos and/or other materials stored on them. It works great with my Dell laptop.
