    To save money I got a lap top without a cd rom drive. This portable unit easily fills that need and I only have to hook it up when I need it. It's not the fastest, but it is more than sufficient.

    I looked into reviews of other drives that worked with Windows 10 and some weren't compatible. This one said it was...got a good price, and it does what I expect it to do. I haven't used it too much, but every time it is needed, it works great.

    I am sure by now you know that most laptops sold today do not have a DVD drive. I purchased this so my teenagers could watch movies on their laptops on a long drive. This was the perfect purchase! It was easy to operate and made my kids happy!

    I was not expecting the new laptops to come without CD/DVD drives. In light of that, this type of add-on is necessary if you want to load existing software to your computer. I presume it would also allow the display of entertainment CD's and DVD's through the computer.

    Bought this drive to go with new Dell 2 in 1 laptop. Easy to connect, install, and use. Does everything that a built in drive would do, and does it well. Looks nice, runs quiet. Highly recommend this piece if you need an external optical drive.

    Inexpensive and does the job! Since most computers don’t have internal cd/dvd players, an inexpensive option is needed.

    Got this to use and view CD given by doctors for results on MRI. It was easy to use, have had no trouble with it, and will still have use for it besides what it was bought for.
