    I love my external blue ray cd because the new computers don’t have a cd drive to install disc, it works on my chrome book. Can watch movies, burn disc (back up of family tree) …

    Works great. With most laptops these days not having a built in DVD drive its sometimes handy to still be able to have a drive you can connect. So long as you are buying a drive why not go ahead and get one that supports Blu-ray as well.

    I remember when optical drives were so new they were not standard on pc. Now they are so old they are not standard on pc. Haven't used the write function so the 5 stars are for the ease of use and setup of the reader only.

    Bought this for a brand new iMac. The Mac SuperDrive had too many bad reviews for me. The set up went very smoothly there was not any problems, it works and does everything it's supposed to do. The speed is acceptable I would have purchased the upgrade model but it was not in stock. With all things considered I am happy with the purchase.

    I bought this because my computer does not have a disc drive. It has been a great purchase. The bluray component works well. As a tip make sure your computer is fully charged or is plugged in while you are using this. It tends to draw a lot of battery.

    It took minimum effort, and no additional research, to install the software to provide all the CD/DVD capabilities not built into my high performance PC. The istallation worked the first time, the instructions were intiuitive, and evrythiung worked the first time. Highly recommended.

    The rewriter is great but for some reason it randomly will stop being recognized by my computer so I have to unplug it and plug it back in. Not sure if that is my computers fault or this rewriter but either way the thing works great otherwise.
