    My netbook (also purchased at Best Buy) has served me well but the lack of an optical drive made it less useful than I would have liked. This drive fills the gap. My first attempt at installation did not succeed (don't know why) but the next try a couple of days later worked. The only negative is that you have to pull the disc tray out fully before you can load it.

    This unit was only $35 and is small enough to fit in my travel bag which is great because my laptop doesn't have a cd/dvd reader. I don't use it too often but it's super quiet and does everything I need it for plus it's held up to the traveling around through multiple airports

    Seriously. Just stop. This is an okay solution if you must use an ODD for anything. We use these at work on occasion. I've yet to have one break on us and we are not gentle with them. I recommend these for people that want an ODD that just HAVE to have one, but are smart enough to realize that having an ODD installed in a laptop is a waste of space.

    Didn't realize my new computer didn't have a dvd player so was relieved to find it was only $40 to purchase one separately. Slim design and slides in pocket of my small briefcase without adding more bulk.
