    This is a real nice low profile DVD/CD player burner, also quiet as can be. I should have bought this a year ago.

    Had a program to burn already loaded on my laptop. Plugged it in and worked right away. No fuss. Quiet machine, love the easy loading and no tray release. Hope it lasts awhile. So far...Great!

    I really like this player, though I did struggle at first to figure out how to eject the disc. But it works great and let's me play my video courses on the road. It was a lot cheaper than the Apple version, but works perfectly with my Mac laptop.

    Slim, hooks up easily and works well! These days laptops are not coming with CD/DVD players/recorders so it being so slim in size saves room in my case. Being a portable we can also use it in 2 other laptops and a desktop we have in our household! Very good price as well.

    I got this external drive for a new laptop which doesn't have a DVDs unit on it. It worked perfectly fine just after connecting it with an usb cable. I used it to install software and to record some files and it performed really smooth and fast for both input and output operations.

    Great device. It worked right out of the box on my new PC laptop with no need to install the provided software. I haven't had a chance to use it on my wife's Mac, so I hope it lives up to the compatibility claims.

    I have never owned a laptop that did not have a dvd or cdr player. Did not realize how much we actually need it. The first one I bought for this laptop was big and bulky and had to be used at home. It was also very noisy. My daughter needed something smaller to take with her to the college campus. This has fit the bill.

    bought this for windows originally, worked great, now using it on the new macbook pro, still works perfectly. i only use it read discs for software so i can't say much about writing to discs though. but overall it looks great and worked without any issues.

    This is very portable and easy to use. I am not very techy and it came with a CD which I thought had to be used to install software, I was wrong. A call to the Geek Squad helped with that. So just plug it into the computer and into electricity and you are good to go.

    Rather than a tray that pops out this unit has a slot that you insert the disc into. Just one less thing to break as I see it. I burn about 20 CDs a week. Out of the box the drive works flawlessly. I won't know how durable it is until I've used it for a couple of years.
