    I've used it twice to burn DVDs from my MacBook Pro and several times to read data and video DVDs with no problems. Great product for the price!

    This item does the job, and is well worth the small cost to add optical disk capability to a laptop that does not have an internal optical drive.

    I needed a CD drive to load some older software onto my MacMini. This was cheaper than the Apple drive and does the same thing. Money saved!!!
