    The sleek Surface Pro 3 has no CD drive. This LG drive is the answer, it is economical and compact. It works great for loading your programs or wathing your library of movies.

    I bought this item because, like most laptops out there, my Mac Air doesn't have a CD drive. Having the ability to play CD's and DVD's is great. It adds so much to my laptop.

    It's a good value but I had trouble ejecting my library DVD. I tried the next day and it was ok. I ended up paying the late fee for returning the DVD late.

    You no longer need the DVD component on a laptop. Reduce the weight but have the availability to use a DVD and record a DVD.

    Since most computers don't include a built-in disk drive/DVD burner, this was recommended by the associate. Haven't used it you but it was the best deal.

    Works fine, but after I bought it I realized it used more power than my tablet can support through the USB port. Needed a powered USB port to use it.

    Laptops don't come with DVD players anymore and you don't really need one all the time. But, you do need it o install software that comes on discs.

    This is an excellent product. You do not need an external power supply as it runs entirely off of the USB connection.

    I told the staff what I wanted and they gave this writer. I went on a trip and wanted to bs able to watch videos on my laptop. This device required the purchase of 70.00 in extra software in order to perform this function. I was really aggravated and may not return to best buy again.
