    Yes, I know burning DVD is in the past, but I needed one as PC burner was failing. This is very easy to use and not expensive.

    Easy USB plug & play; performs just fine. Eject button is a little difficult. Came with no instructions of any kind.

    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.

    If you need a physical drive, since very few laptops have them, here you go. It’s plug and play and works fine.

    No instructions on how to operate. Instructions with unit only went as far as hooking it up. I’ve had three meetings with Geek Squad on how to use, because company’s web site was totally useless! Selecting ‘User Guide’ and/or ‘tutorials’ , off their site , was nada. And no chat or number to call.

    Great Product - Easy to Use

    The DVD drive was very easy to use. I plugged it into the USB port and was able to rip some old CDs that I had so that I could place them on a USB for my car. I had been meaning to do this for awhile but I never really got around to it and the Dell that I have doesn't have a CD drive so this one worked out perfect to play and rip. I assume I could burn as well, but like I previously, mentioned, my car doesn't have a CD player.

    Comes in very handy since most computers do not have CD/DVD drives any more. Since they probably won't do that anymore, I'm very happy to be able to buy one and use it for my work.

    Nice CD-DVD writer. It is a bit noisy though but ejects fast and loads easy. No issues as of yet. Most people should be happy with this if you want a more basic CD RW
