    Bought to add programs that can't be installed on a windows 8 laptop because there's no optical drive. Works like a charm and the perfect size.

    I built a computer that didn't include an internal CD drive. As a result, I needed a cheap external drive for installing software. This unit worked great. The unit is about the length and width of a standard CD jewel case. It is roughly the thickness of 2 CD jewel cases stacked. The unit is aesthetically pleasing to me. This device will handle CDs and DVDs. It will not play BluRay

    Perfect match in look and compactness for my ultrabook. Most ultra books don't have DVD drives and you may need one occassionally to load programs or watch a DVD. This one is small, light and thin like my ultrabook and shares the same black finish. Perfect.

    With newer baseline computers being delivered without a CD or DVD drive, the requirement for an external solution has become imperative. This drive fits the niche perfectly and has worked like a champ every time I've needed to use it. The computer recognizes it almost instantly (after the initial driver install) and it works quicky and efficiently in performing my required tasks.

    Needed occasional DVD and CD capability via USB for a MacBook as most current notepads and laptops do not have built-in devices. Worked great out of the box. Good compact, lightweight solution.
