    Works great. It is made cheaply so it seems fragile, but I haven't had any problems with it. Great price.

    It was a lot quieter than I thought it would be. It's pretty handsome but feels cheap, so do not drop it. I wish it came with a cable hide like some pocket hdds do. Excellent value for the money as it is the drive for 3 systems in my house as I don't use disks very often.

    This item is easy to install and use. Just plug it in and go. The first time it takes about 15 minutes to get it all set up and installed on your laptop. After that it is super easy to plug in and use anytime. I just wish my laptop had a DVD drive installed so I wouldn't have to carry this around with me.

    My brother bought one so I got to demo it first. It's just what I need; incredibly thin, lightweight, and portable. Not the biggest fastest or magnificent but will fit your needs if you just need a cheap, lightweight, portable external drive or burner when you need it.
