    Wanted to put several hundred cd’s onto my iPhone, since few laptops have dvd/cd drive/burners I needed an external drive. Easy to use.

    Modern desktops are coming without disc drives nowadays, and occasionally some of us need to read a disc. This was a great deal on sale and did the job perfectly.
