    Bought it for data and that's what it does.

    I purchased this because I bought a new laptop and it didn't have a disc drive. I needed the drive for several reasons and almost didn't purchase it because of the negative remarks. One stood out, "it does what it is supposed to." Knowing Best Buy I took the plunge and I'm satisfied. Note however, I don't use it for DVD, only data.

    I love this external DVD writer drive. I needed it for my laptop which does not have an internal DVD drive. So glad I got it because my desktop PC crashed recently. I was able to load needed software from a CD to my laptop to keep up productivity until I got a new desktop. This external drive was definitely worth the price!

    Good option for DVD/CD needs-Most desktops no longer offer an installed unit on their products, so you need to attach an external unit. Good answer for common problem. Only drawback, it is a cheap plastic enclosure, but it does not affect performance.

    Lightweight. Easy to use. I rarely use it. But, I'm glad I bought it. My HP laptop doesn't have one. The plus's on my Laptop were my primary concern. This external unit completed my requirements.

    I purchased a new gaming laptop to play some old MMORPG games which require CD install, but unfortunately the new laptop did not come with a CD/DVD drive. This external drive was perfect to load the software onto my new laptop. Works great!

    This is a great option for DVD and CD's since most computers now do not come with it. As a teacher this is needed to work with additional resources that come in DVD format. It has a USB connection. and it was easy to install.

    My wife's PC doesn't have a DVD drive and she recently needed to view some DVD's for a project. Ordered this, opened it, plugged it in, and it worked like a charm. So far, no issues and I don't expect any.

    Great product availability and ease of use as well as affordability. My new truck did not come with a CD player so this was a add-on. Now can play it all my CDs that I've had for years when I travel long distance.

    I bought this to use on my Windows 10 laptop, It turns out that you need to install a third party drive to play DVDs on it. After that it works great.
