    I’m copying my many CDs to the cloud. This drive is perfect for the task. Fast and quiet. Also it manages to read several discs that the internal drive in my old MacBook Pro can’t read for some reason.

    It's a shame most computers don't come with a cd drive anymore as it ends up being another thing hanging off the tower but I get it, cds and dvds are relics of the past lol. This works as intended

    Have only used a few times so far but it seems to be good quality and easy to use. Four stars because, as others said, it does seem flimsy since it’s very light. Just hope it does the job and lasts, that’s what matters.

    I love this thing! It will play DVDs, DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD-RW, CDs, CD-R and DVD-Ram! You can play any of those and write in DVD+R, DVD -R, DVD-RW, CD-R and DVD-Ram. It can be hooked up to any computer and TV that accepts USB. I haven`t used Double-Layer DVD+R yet.

    Worked fine. Bought it to install my Microsoft Office 2003. Unfortunately, Windows 11 has basically crippled that version. Works fine on Windows 10.

    Easy to use but it has options for the zones of DVDs that can be used. You only have 5 times to choose DVDs from different countries. After that you can’t choose any more.
