    Very good. Just plug it into a USB port - chose the DVD player software of your choice and it works. It makes it easy to deal with newer laptops that do not tend to have a built in optical player.

    This is a solid choice for an external drive. In the field of music I needed the ability to play and rip CDs. This unit does very well. Simple plug and play. No downsides that I can see after using for several months.

    The computer I bought doesn't have a CD/DVD drive, so I bought this separately. I'm really glad I did. It works really well & the price was great.

    Plug and play with no software needed to install. Write speed is standard and doesn’t take too long to write a CD-RW. The casing seems cheap and not very durable but it is lightweight which makes up for it. Comes with USB cord that plugs right into your computer and does not require AC or DC cord in order to supply power.

    I was going to purchase a similar item but I read that the software expires. This has cyberlink and power2go and it doesn't appear to expire. Plus I got a great black Friday price for this to go with my new laptop.

    It allowed me to use it with a laptop that does not have a CD/DVD player and also with a laptop that has a non-working CD/DVD player. The software that comes with the unit only works on one chosen computer though.

    It did what it's supposed to do. If you have old programs and need a CD to install on a new computer, I recommend this device.
