    Old portable gave up and bought this one to replace. A little noisy as is plastic rather than meal exterior. Works fine so far. New computer has no drive and like to listen to books on cd.

    It is light weight and I can carry it in my laptop bag. The disc drawer hangs every time I open it and have to give it a nudge to open past it but does what I needed it to do. I simply plugged it in and used it.

    I bought this as an open box special as my laptop had no internal optical drive. I do IT support, and every so often I need to burn something or copy old software off a disc. Couldn't beat the price for my needs.

    I was looking for an inexpensive CD player for my computer to load software. This product not only does that but will also allow me to burn backups of my data. Inexpensive and very easy to use. Plug and play.

    Seriously easy to use plug and play. Connect it to your PC and burn a disc seconds later. Decent build quality. I can't imagine getting more out of a $40 drive.
