    What can I say other than it does what it is supposed to, quietly, quickly and accurately. The absence of a loading tray is a convenient feature.

    Light weight and does the job. Works well with HP Envy which did not have a CD drive. Downside - having to carry another item when traveling.

    I had problems getting this running. Also the previous cheaper DVD drive - I returned thinking it was defective Both came with software that would not run anything. Windows media player would also not work with it. The Geek Squad was great though in helping me find software to run this - but it was very strange that the other software would not run it. Very troubling for someone that expects to have this work without issue.

    With all of the new computers not having a disc drive this seems to be a new necessary purchase if you would like to put music from a cd on your hard drive. It seems to work very well and does the job and is not a burden on the eyes. I give it a thumbs up

    Nice Compact Size

    I bought this item because my new laptop does not come with a DVD drive (as most do not these days). Since I still use DVD's and CD's, I needed something to get this material on my PC. I like the compact size. It fits nicely in my laptop bag so I can have it with me wherever I am. The one thing I would like to see included (or at least available) is a connecting cord that has a USC end. My laptop only has one USB port, so I need to dedicate that to the DVD drive when using.

    Necessary extra

    With computers these days going away from drives this is a necessary extra to have to buy. Purchased it at the same time as the laptop and even got a discount doing so. Works just as it should. Plug into usb and disc can be used for computer. I like that it doesn't eject a sliding disc tray but just takes the disk in and out. Seems like less to go wrong in the future.
