Super Portable and Does the Job
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This external drive held up to the positive reviews and met my needs for burning of CDs and DVDs. I use a small (lite) laptop as my PC and this drive complements it just right! You can definitely bring this device along to use during trips.

Drive ok, software does not install.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The DVD player works great but the software included will only install on a Dell system, so that is useless, I guess that's why it included. The other DVD drives did not come with software at all.
