Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the 8x External USB 2.0 DVD±RW/±R/CD-RW Movie Writer's ease of use, compact size, and compatibility with various devices. Many appreciate its performance and quiet operation, along with the affordable price. While some users found the included software needed adjustments, the positive feedback on other features outweighs this concern. The ability to play Blu-ray discs is also a frequently cited advantage.

    This is a perfect complement to the Apple Air laptop which does not have an internal drive. Plays DVDs as well.

    this probably works better with pc's but with the Apple you have to make extra steps to get it to work. Does not tell you in the guide what to do for Apples.

    I gave my oldest Grand Daughter my old laptop which did not have an internal DVD/CD drive. We bought this to allow her to use CD's / DVD's when needed for school work. Works well.

    This is great to take on the road and works well for a busy traveler like me. Little tricky to coordinate with a touch screen laptop, though

    I am a Mac user I don't have a CD drive on my Mac Air so I figure I buy an external DVD player. I wish that there was in bold letters that the Blu-ray DVD's doesn't play unless you buy an additional software for Mac users. It works perfectly fine with regular DVDS. The CD writer work good on my Mac. This is a decent DVD player, but that only thing I don't like is buying the additional software to play my Blu-rays DVD's.

    This DVD/BluRay burner is amazing! I had one at one time that was slow but this one is SO much better. It burns disc much faster. I am very pleased with this purchase.

    This is a great external dvd burner but only reads blu ray so pay attention if you want to write to blu ray as well. Quality & slim drive with quiet operation.
