    Stylish and compact but very sensitive to movement - discs will skip or device becomes unrecognized. However, device is inexpensive.

    I really enjoy using this cd drive. I currently have it hooked up to my Mac mini and it works great. All I did was took it out the box and the apple software recognized that it was an external drive. I would recommend this product for anyone looking for a low priced solution for a external cd drive.

    Overall this is a really good drive and very quiet. Worked easily after a reboot of Windows 7 the first time it was installed. The case plastic seems very thin and flimsy, I am not sure if it would survive a drop or fall and you don't want to put anything heavier than a thin paperback book on top of it for sure. I have only used it to read computer-written CD and DVD disks yet and have not written to any disks so far. Performance is as expected. I am happy with it.

    I'm a little bitter about having to buy one in the first place; I wish computers would still come with a built-in, but I guess it's alright. It's very easy to use... just plug in, press the button to open it and stick in your CD/DVD. However, it is very flimsy and I'm worried it'll break with the slightest touch.

    My new laptop did not have a disk drive, as many don't these days. However I have a number of programs that I needed to use that were on disks and not available on line. Therefore, this drive solved that problem easily.

    Excellent choice for people who are burning music mixes for cheer, dance, etc. Works great does exactly what I needed it to do for. I burned over 800 photos onto discs for my family for a party. It did a great job.

    Our old washer was a nighmare from the beginning. This LG washer is by far the best washer on the market today. Never going back to a front loader again. I'm so pleased can't wait to purchase the matching dryer.
