    Since all our new computers and laptops come without a DVD drive this was a MUST buy! It is super easy to use and works great. Very helpful for anyone who still needs CD and DVD functionality.

    Had to buy a cd rom since my laptop didn’t come with one. Very affordable. Disappointed that the laptop didn’t have one built in but I’m glad I found this one

    Great product and it was plug and play. I had a DVD drive go bad and this was the fastest resolution. Price is good and worked as soon as I plugged it in.

    When your computer doesn't have this feature, this is perfect! I don't know why technology is phasing this out but new cars are doing it too.

    I purchased a new computer, which did not have a DVD drive. I wanted to have a back up to my computer other than the Cloud. So I went with this external DVD, to have as additional method to protect my pictures and to sometimes play a movie video when I am traveling

    This guy does the job his friends no longer want to do. And he does it well with no complaints. If you have need for semi-ancient tech, get it.

    This has worked great for us. No having to download programs in order to run this. Just plug and play. The only downside I can find with it so far is that it is a little noisy, but other than that nothing else.

    The external DVD player is a great idea as it performs just like a built-in without having to carry it around. It just works as you would expect.
