    My new laptop had no CD drive, so I had to buy an external drive. It was very easy to install, no problem using it, and I would recommend it to anyone.

    This has been perfect for a work environment that uses MIni Tower computers. These do not have disk drives, so the mobility of this portable is great.

    Purchased laptop for college-bound daughter. This player allows her to burn cds, dvds, and play movies on her laptop. It's quick and streams easily.

    Cost effective, easy to use tool for laptops that don't have a built in device. Not overly fast, but it meets all my expectations.

    Easy to install -- just plug into USB drive. And even though the computer I use it with is a dinosaur, DVDs I play with this drive run very smoothly.
