    I hated to have to buy an external disk driver when I bought my new computer, but this one wasn't too expensive and I've had to load all of my old CD's by using it. No issues to report. It seems to be very reliable, so for the money, it's worth it.

    A compact quiet writer that works well, and seems durable, he software and driver are not wonderful, as my computer continues to want to access the unit even if it is not plugged into it and the unit needs to be on a flat surface for best performance.

    I needed an external USB DVD burner for my Macbook Pro Retina and really didn't want to spend $80 for a SuperDrive. Went to BB and saw this and decided to give it a try and it works like a charm. It's just another USB 3 drive for half the price. Bam!

    Bought this to replace another Samsung 3D Blueray player because of the Wi-Fi feature. This is to stream Netflix. Also upgraded the Wi-Fi router to a Netgear AC-1900. No pauses or interruptions in Netflix anymore. The old 3-D player is now in the bedroom and still working great.

    It worked fine, plug and play, to install some software that I had on CD to a newly purchased laptop that did not have a CD drive. So far have not used it for any other purpose - would consider it a good trade off price-wise for the lighter, thinner laptop w/o the drive.
