    My laptop did not come with a DVD player. Once I realized it I went back to the store. The CSR suggested I get this. I have used it several times with no issues. Well worth the money.

    With current laptops not having built in dvd drives, this one came in very handy when loading some of my programs. It plugs into the laptop’s USB port. Fast. Hassle-free and worked seamlessly with my Dell laptop.

    I recently bought this to replace the one that died in my laptop. It works as expected but the bonus is it plays dvd's from region 2 as well as region 1.

    We bought this drive because our computer cd drive broke. The computer doesn’t have internet so we can only copy data from drive and play music. I would like to be able to copy data off the internet to drive and move data. I am not sure if lack of internet is the reason we can’t move data off the computer.

    Bought this external drive to install some software on a new laptop. Worked great - as advertised. Only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is it is a pretty simple device that just does what it is supposed to do - nothing exceptional but still nice to have it work as epxected
