Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the 8x External USB 2.0 Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive's ease of use, compact size, and affordability. Many appreciate its compatibility with various operating systems and its lightweight design, finding it performs well for its size. While some noted a slightly higher noise level than expected, the positive feedback on performance and ease of use outweighs this minor drawback.

    Works good for what I need it for. Don't like that it isn't in my computer but reality is it doesn't get used much so need to have wasted space on the computer

    I purchased the CD/DVD-R drive for my Lenovo Yoga featuring Windows8. No ultrabooks come with CD drives in them, so windows8 for the ultrabooks doesn't have any CD/DVD reading software. I downloaded some software from the internet, but even then it doesn't read the disks well, skips over parts and if you try to scene select to go to a certain part, sometimes it takes you right back to the main menu!! Though some new DVDs it works better with. It might work well for someone who's using it to burn CDs or DVDs though.

    I bought this CD drive because it cost less than the Apple CD drive. It worked perfectly right when I plugged it in and I have had not problems with it. Good savings with no loss of function.

    The price for this drive was reasonable. However it was defective out of the box. Kept loosing connection if the USB cord was touched the slightest. Appears the jack on the drive was faulty. No hassle returning it to BestBuy however so that was a plus.

      Wow! That's terrible to know you're experiencing difficulties with your disc flying after ejecting them from the player. I too would be frantic about the hassle of catching them.
