    Mainly useful since most laptops no longer have a built-in disk drive. It's good mainly for games that still require disks.

    Since my laptop does not have a CD drive this one has been a good substitute. I do not use it frequently but when I do it has so far been okay.

    I have no complaints about this DVD player/CD drive. I bought it after purchasing my new MacBook Air. It plays DVD's easily, burns pictures onto blank CD's and is very easy to use. Lightweight and small.

    Works very well on USB 2 and 3. Only uses USB power which is awesome. Super useful for systems that don't have or have broken CD/DVD drives.
