    This product is amazing. All computers today do not have disk drives anymore so this product is great! It is great for everyday use as well as for college.

    love the fact that my apple air is so lite. However, not having a cdRom was painful sometimes. This external writer is perfect and small enough for my bag.

    When one needs an external CD/DVD drive, this one will fit most any computer. Price is right. Just hope it lasts as long as the laptop I bought to use with it.

    Needed a dual layer drive and this was well reviewed. Heeded online advice and set the burn to a slower speed when doing dual layer disks and no problems with recording. Form factor is extremely thin and light, overall size is not much larger than a disk (about 1/4 inch larger on each side). Easy to slip into laptop bag if you are going to need an external optical drive while on the go.

    Pros- Compact and light weight that functions seamlessly with a computer and very reasonably priced. I have used this product through a wide range of temps -10F - 110F in a wide range of environments (ie. snow, dessert) and has No Problems Yet! So no cons thus far for the money for this product! Love it! Cons-NONE!

    I bought this external double-layer drive for use with my new MacBook Pro because it didn't have a drive and I need it badly to back up files. I wanted to get the Apple external drive but it was way too expensive so I searched for an alternative to buy that won't be too expensive and I saw this at the store and checked the specs and checked the reviews online. I'm glad I bought it because I saved a lot and the drive is not bad at all it does all the things I need. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for an alternative double layer DVD RW/CD-RW Drive.

    Great Addition to New Laptop

    With the trend of more laptop PCs not coming with built in CD/DVD drives, this purchase was a must. Easy set up, just plug it in and you are pretty much ready to go. Very light weight and slim design, so it doesn't take up to much space in the laptop bag. The price wasn't bad either, especially with the combo deal of buying a laptop too. Great addition to the mobile command center.

    For those that don't have a CD/DVD drive, this is perfect adding software to your computer. The small size is good for storing the unit when not in use.
