    New la[tops are not made with CD ROM drives. This accessory gives you a CD ROM drive for CD's, older programs or anything you use in a CD format. Works real well. I am very happy with it.

    I bought a Dell laptop without a built-in DVD drive. This drive is very fast, works great and in fact is better than the one in my previous laptop that had a built-in DVD drive.

    Bought this because my new laptop did not come with a disc drive installed. Only had it for a month so far, but it works fine for all my needs. Having an external disc drive is always a plus. And this one gets the job done.

    Most computers now don't come with a disk drive, here is your solution. Inexpensive and use when you need it. It does not do blu-ray which will cost a bit more.
