    I was looking for a simple device to use to burn and read DVD's. This is a great product and I would buy it for a gift.

    This drive is not bad for the price. It's a little slow but otherwise works fine with my MacBook Air.

    I thought I would miss the built in dvd player, but my laptop is lighter and I like that much better.

    My old computer tower was broken and could not be updated. So I bought a laptop. Problem was, I did not have a disc drive for all the computer games I had. This does the trick!! I am not computer smart, but the installation was a breeze! Now my kids can play all the neat games that I grew up with! (Remember all 8 Kings Quest!!?)

    I purchased the external dvd drive because the laptop I purchased didn't have one built in. The sole purpose of this drive is to allow me to install and play games which it does perfectly. It also runs pretty silent which is a plus.
