    Most of today's labtops don't have cd drives. This portable cd drive is a godsend that gives you the power to use your CDs and DVDs without breaking a sweat.

    It does exactly what you want it to do, and it was plug and play as described. Given its price, this is a great deal.

    The exterior Disk drive worked seamlessly with my laptop to be able to load the software that I needed from CDs. Didn't need 120VAC. The operation was easy and intuitive.

    This is a great external DVD drive and very easy to use. It truly is a plug and play. It requires no external power source. The visual and audio quality is also very good.

    My new laptop did not come with a cd/dvd drive and I needed one to install software and burn cd's. It was easy to install and use and the cd/dvd burning software that came with it was a bonus.

    Bought to load SW on the new laptop that did not have a drive. A good option by the way. Don't need to lug around the drive for the life of the laptop when it will only be used for a little loading when the laptop is new. Drive works very well. Happy

    Seems to work good. Needed it for our new gaming computer we built, but that doesn't come with a dvd drive and I have a few programs that need to be downloaded via the DVD, so this works. This one had faster read and write speeds than the others for a great price so I went with it.

    I bought this because I have a new computer without an optical drive and I needed to be able to install software or reinstall at a later date. Works quite well for this and easily packed up and put away when it's not in use.

    Purchased to provide backup due to losses from a previous computer crash. This drive is efficient, takes up little space, and provides the security we were looking for.
