    I was skeptical at first since it was so inexpensive but after using it was pleasantly surprised that it performed as well as an internal disc drive. It was also great that it was powered through my computer. I used it to download and install a security program on my newly purchased computer. All worked wonderful with no glitches.

    compact little external dvd drive. Inexpensive and does the trick, since our laptops don't have a drive.

    I bought this product because my MacBook Air did not come equipped with a CD drive. The best thing about this product is that it is Mac compatible, otherwise, I would have had to spend an outrageous price for an Apple drive. This product is so easy to set up - you just plug the USB cord into the port, double click, and you're done!

    Great item, very compact, fits anywhere. The CD-ROM drive on my laptop went out, so I was contemplating getting a new laptop. Then I saw this external drive, what life saver, not mention a money saver. It is so slim and small it fits in my laptop sleeve with the laptop and power cord. Best purchase I've made in a long while. Thanks.

    As my mobile HP Pavilion 2 in 1 laptop does not have a DVD drive, the portable DVD is perfect for burning the software demos I create with Camtasia studio. I can also play DVDs from the library (something I could not do with a tablet)..I just love its slim size and portability. Thin as it is, it is quite efficient and powerful.
