    Perfect device, does exactly what I want. Only issue is that I did not download the drivers and had no internet connection at the time. They give you a disc (Queue the crickets.. because I bought this to replace a broken drive haha). So.. that was fun. It has been working perfect since.

    The initial installation was a bit confusing however that was my fault not realizing I had to download a player for my brand new Dell. The only thing you have to be mindful of is if kids are using in the car you need to keep the player fairly stable or it will stop playing the DVD.

    Performs its function satisfactorily. The retracting shelf reduces the likelihood of jamming.

    Purchased this to copy files from a CD to a Mac computer, it did exactly that without issue.Used again later to install windows 8.1 on a PC and it performed without issues, It's quiet when running and didn't require any drivers to work on the Mac or PC, it just worked as needed.

    Good external DVD/CD device for use with a Macbook Air. Does what I need it to do especially with music and video clip collections. Easy to connect and use. Portability may be an issue if you don't buy the right case.
