    I haven't had any trouble with this product so far. I'm hoping it will last longer than some reviews said it did. I mostly got it to be able to install programs on my ultrabook. So far it's been used to put CDs on my computer. Seemed to work just fine. It does vibrate a little and you can definitely hear the fan, but it's just like my other computer used to sound like when putting CDs onto the computer..

    I have used the DVD player only twice; but found it incredibly easy to set up and begin playing. It is quite thin and compact. No problems thus far.

    It gets the job done. The slim design is definitely a plus because it doesnt take up much space in my back. The functionality is clean and simple, no rocket science involved. My only negative comment is because it didnt work with my smart tv, in for me to watch my movie from the redbox. And maybe that was my fault, but I seriously doubt it.

    I like the compact design. It's light and does not take up much room in my laptop bag. I also like the idea that you can connect it to a USB port on a tv and use it as a DVD player

    Bought the Toshiba 2-in-1 one so I needed an external CD/DVD burner. I use one rarely (I prefer SD of flash memory), but it was very affordable, it's light weight and travels well. It is slow, no doubt. But for the few times I've needed it, I can live with it. I would recommend it. Thank you, Best Buy sales rep, for recommending this.

    I bought this to go with my new MacBook Air, as there is no built-in DVD drive. This drive fits the bill perfectly and was ver reasonably priced!
