    I did not realize that new laptops came without CD/DVD players. I still possess movies and software on DVDs and was quite perplexed about what to do. Thank heavens for external DVD players. This has worked easily and well, especially helpful for adding my camera software to my computer and some programs I still use from CD.

    I needed a disk drive when my laptop drive failed. I used this one to reinstall windows. My computer recognized this device without any problems. Speed seems to be about average. Good product. Price was a little higher that some others, but overall not a bad buy.

    This was great for me as I am a newbie when it comes to peripherals. My Mac didn't have a disk drive and I needed to burn a cd. This was the perfect thing! Easy to set up and get it going! Just as easy to use!

    Replaces internal DVD drive

    While I would have preferred to have the DVD drive internally, this is an acceptable solution. It does the job I need it to do and I can leave it at home when not needed. Probably reduces the weight of laptop too. Was on sale when purchasing select laptops. I got mine with my HP Envy.

    Whether for adding software, trouble shooting, or making a backup, the portable DVD Device makes it easy to work on PCs and Laptops without DVDs. With the new M-Disc, it is a great way to archive photos and save space on your hard drive. Furthermore you don't have to worry about a M-disc crash causing loss of the pictures.

    Take this review with a grain of salt because I haven't really tested the drive yet beyond reading a cd. PROS (so far): Small - about the size of a jewel case, Very lightweight, and no power cable necessary, USB power. CONS (so far): seems so lightweight it may break easily, all plastic construction, eject button only works when still "mounted" or linked to the computer. Overall, for the price point and features it seems like a solid buy so far... I hope to come back and update the review once I test it further.

    My new MacBook Air does not have a built-in CD drive. For the infrequent times I use CDs, this portable drive is quick, easy, lightweight, and affordable.

    Since my dad recently got a new computer and this being the future and all, new computers don't always have optical drives(dvd, blu-ray, cd(you catch my drift?)). So this was used for anything he might ever need to install via a dvd. It was an easy setup, plug it in. He was encouraged that he was able to just, plug it in.
