    I spent too much time trying to get it to work and called them. They had me download a program that wasn't the easiest either. Tried and tried to play a movie to finally call them and find out it doesn't play blue ray and you need to spend much more for that. I could have bought a computer with the drive in for how much extra it would have been. Make sure you know what you want.

    I bought it to use with my Macbook Air and it works ok. Probably should have bought the Apple product. They tend to work better. Time will tell if it lasts. The noise while loading is really scary. Sounds like it may malfunction at any time.

    Purchased this DVD reader/player for my new iMac. I had a lot of programs available only on CD's. I purchased this unit to connect to my new iMac. It works great and I haven't experienced any problems with it. The finish is high quality and it compliments the iMac.
