    I used this primarily as an external cd-drive. It was extremely easy to set up and you definitely cannot beat the price. I was definitely satisfied with my purchase.

    It has really helped to have the external DVD Drive for adding my printer to my Asus 2-in-1 Tablet/Laptop and playing movies or adding other things to my Tablet!

    I've been using it on a Mac in both OS X and Windows 8.1 and it works out of the box on both. It's a little flimsy, but works well enough.

    It connects correctly the first time, and does what it's supposed to do. It's not too loud and is small enough to carry along with the laptop, when necessary.

    I'm in love with this product because it makes burning CD's seem so easy!! Besides they sound like the original one that you burnt it from.

    I needed a CD drive but didn't like the bulkier and heavier computer that had a drive installed. The external drive was ideal and on sale during the holidays.

    Overall, this drive does exactly what it should do. For me, it was simply plug-n-play. For the price, I'm quite pleased with the performance and the size really can't be beat. Very slim and light. The only negative I would give it is that the case is built with relatively cheap plastic so it may not be very robust. However, considering the price, you could use it for a year and get a new one later.

    My laptop came w/o a CD/DVD PLAYER/Writer, so I bought this external device to fill in the missing part. It works great for ally needs.
