    Was looking for a way to move all of my old CD's to my laptop that didn't have a CD/DVD drive. This definitely does the work, but the construction seems a little bit dicey. Would still recommend at the low price.

    Needed a cd/dvd drive because something happened to the one on my desktop. THis is definitely cheaper and easier than repair and I can use in the future on other devices. Seems like this is just as fast and easy to use as if it was internal to the machine.
