    This is an adequate player/ reader. It's a little lightweight and flimsy but maybe that's a good thing. I've never had need for an external reader before because it's always been in my computer. My new computer is super slim so this is very helpful.

    love this external DVD/CD drive. Using it primarily for burning copies of audio discs. Works great and burns quickly. Also travels with me easily and takes up little space.

    My daughter's laptop has no dvd drive and she needed to install software on discs, so this fit the bill perfectly. I can't comment on the durability since we have only had it a few weeks. It installed easily on her Win 10 HP laptop.

    Needed an external drive for old photo backups back from when we had desktop computers with CD drives. Easy to plug into laptop and able to copy data to network drive (NAS).

    It's a great convenience to have an external drive to play music and movies. I purchased as a gift and it was well-received. It works with both a laptop and a desktop. Easy to use. Shipped quickly!

    This DVD player works great with my laptop PC! I can watch movies, play games, and even make a system restore disk! DVD rives are very essential and everyone should have one!

    This external disc drive works well. No functional or technical issues and it is very easy to use. The sound is not really noticeable when a disc is running.

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

    Was able to play old mini dvd discs. They snap perfectly in the center and stay in place. Charges directly through usb that connects to laptop. Light weight, best investment.

    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.

    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.
