Customer Ratings & Reviews

I didnt know about this as I had never had a plug & play DVD writer. But it works great & loads quickly and is a great accessory for my new all in one that did not have a DVD on board. It is so small but highly functional.

Nice product but difficult to set up. The driver that comes with it didn't download or run very easily. Geek Squad downloaded a superior driver instead.

Great External DVD drive, insert loading space saver.

I returned this dvd/cd player shortly after purchasing it because it did not come with the needed software to play movies. It advised me that I would have to spend another sixty dollars to purchase the desire software. I bought another one for half this price which included the software to play movies.

Bought this unit to download software and music to my new laptop. Chose this drive based on the good reviews and the fact that it had a slot loading design vs a tray load.

This product performs up to expectations. I recommend it.

It's a very nice laptop. No drive, so you have to buy an external burner for those still using disc. A little noisy. Battery does not last long at all. Just surfing the web or playing chess, I have to keep it plugged in or it will die within an hour or two if I'm lucky. Now if you're hard-core gaming? Look somewhere else. You will be in the same boat as I am right now. And I hardly use it. The graphics are excellent and it is fast. The fingerprint scanner needs some work. Always says it can't read finger. Annoying. And the keyboard, you won't be able to see the keys. Especially in the day. Silver and white keys? Not a good combo.

The format is not exactly what I wanted it to be converted to but I am still working with the product. Any suggestions would be great! Good product, compact and now I can convert my DVDs and CDs to an online format for viewing. All I had to do was plug it up!

Very easy to use, very nice to transport!!! I love it!!!

Works great. So far no problems. Also would recommend it.

I liked the fact it didn't have a drawer. It is made of plastic and does the job. If you have a Microsoft SP3 you will need to purchase a 'Y' cable so you can plug it into another USB port. The SP3's USBs port cannot power the drive by itself. This is the the case with just about every external DVD/RW drive I have looked into.

This item works well and I have not had any issues with it. I have it a 4 because the build and quality of it has something to be desired. If a heavy object we're to sit on top of it, it feels like it would break. However for what it's made to do, be portable and to play CDs or dvds... it works just fine

Since my Mac mini did not come with a CD/DVD drive, I purchased this DVD±RW/CD-RW drive. It came with the needed USB cable which was a pleasant surprise, not having to buy something extra for a change. Works great and I am happy with my purchase.

My new computer didn't have a optical drive so I needed an external dvd drive. It works great with my most up to date laptop. But it is slow and sometimes doesn't work with my desktop computer.

Inexpensive. Fine for my needs. I've only used it once.

More than I expected. No need for a power connection, plug in to a usb jack and you're up and running. The blade drive is much better in my estimation than the draw type. Very good quality output.

Definitely fills the bill with respect to having an external CD/DVD drive, especially for newer all-in-one desktops with no DVD drive (and you still run across some vendors selling discs, or if you have old legacy stuff you need to access via this outdated(?) medium.

So far everything I have thrown in it has worked on my computer. Have not tried to burn with it yet so do not know about burn quality or burn speed. Had seen cheaper DVD drives elsewhere but decided to pick this one up when I bought my laptop because it was in stock. So far no other complaints.

99% of what we do today no longer requires the use of a CD or DVD. But that 1%! It’s good to have inexpensive options that are high quality like this burner. Just plug it in to a USB port and you’re good to go!

Small compact design so far works fine a little noisy
