    Inexpensive drive. Works well with Windows 11. No problems using a hub to connect it to my Microsoft PC.

    Extremely happy with an external plug in for my viewing CD needs. I am using this as external peripheral with my smart tv to play blue ray and DVD. This comes with a bonus feature of writing as well. Great buy on a deal at Best buy @20 bucks . Can't go wrong with that.

    I bought this product because I have a Dell laptop computer that does not have a CD/DVD drive. The product is easy to use. You just plug it into your laptop computer and it is ready for use. I mainly wanted this product so I can download CDs into my iTunes library which I am able to do now with this product. Additionally, I am now able to watch DVDs on my laptop computer with this product. I high recommend this product!

    This tiny DVD drive is exactly what I needed, Laptops and the likes don't come with DVD drives anymore, and USB plug and play version not only fills the void, it was relatively cheap. The shelf holding the DVD is a little delicate, so there is need to be careful, but other than that, you can't beat it!

    A nicely assembled DVD drive, although a bit on the flimsy side. In that respect it's very similar to the ones that used to be built-in to laptops. I simply bought a protective case for inside my laptop backpack, and for the price, it can't be beat. Imho. It plays and burns music CD's, and it plays movie DVD's (I use different software than what came with the drive). Haven't burned a DVD yet, but there isn't any reason to suspect it won't do as well, given the aforementioned. Good price. Does a great job. Yes, I'd recommend it and buy it again if needed. Get a case!

    I'm using this drive for occasional use on my computer because PCs usually don't have DVD drives anymore. My first use was to archive precious family videos to MP4 files. Twenty years ago, I copied some VCR family videos to DVDs. I downloaded the free version of VideoProc Converter AI and transcribed these DVD videos to MP4. I can share these with friends and family now on Google Drive. It can also play movie DVDs. I was glad that they included the correct USB cable. It's not a rugged device, but at the low price and for occasional use, this was a perfect choice for me.

    My new Dell laptop does not have an internal DVD drive as do most laptops today. However, I have software on discs and music that I wanted to load on my laptop. The external drive has worked very well so far. It's small enough that I can carry it around in my computer bag if I need to.

    Perfect addition for my laptop without an Optical Drive. I love the fact that this slim drive is Plug & Play. I trust the brand and it works as advertised. This allows me to have the best of both worlds- a laptop that weighs much less and I still have the ability to have an optical drive.
