    Good external CD/DVD player for the price

    I needed this after the CD/DVD player on my laptop went out. At $50 this was a lot cheaper than installing a new one in my laptop for at least $100. In my experience when you send your laptop in for repair it gone for at least a month and it's hard to do without it for that long. It works fine if I just need to listen to a CD or watch a DVD. I would like to be able to burn a CD and cannot figure out how to do it on the external drive. I would like to know if I could hook it up to my smart TV and watch a DVD on my TV but don't know if I can do this. I would have appreciated a small instruction book but there was none. It's rather akward having an extra item to plug into the laptop. It was not the cost, but the time I would have to be without the laptop that kept me from sending it in to be replaced. In retrospect I would have sent it in and be done with it. So much more convenient.

    Being someone who likes to push the envelope, I have so far used this on an old Macbook that the DVD was no longer working in, a windows 7 laptop, and a Linux (CentOS) laptop. Just for fun I also tried it with a Galaxy Note (10.1 tablet) and a 7" windows 8.1 tablet (both tablets with an OTG cable) It worked great in every case. Very nice and compact.

    I first bought an Apple external drive which didn't work. When I returned it I was told I could get a less expensive unit that would work just fen. Great save money sure! Well it worked great. I was able to hook it up easily and it worked right away!. I would highly recommend this.
