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 device is great for my surface only thing is it will not make Blu-ray dvd's which is the only down size of it. For the only thing else is it was hard to install at first but once I got it going have had no trouble using it I have watch several movies and copied home made videos of my family.

    The product works well, and has a nice feel. I will note that on the back of the box it says it will play on a TV; however, it won't play purchased movie disks. It will only act as an external hard drive if plugged into a TV, and will only played video files burned to a disk as if it were a hard drive. This could have easily been noted on the packaging, but instead it felt like dishonest marketing.

    I don't really know what to say except it works. This is a one-trick pony with one purpose: be an optical drive. Reads Bluray fine, seems to write at a good speed for home use. The price of $80 is really high for such a limited-use device, but I'm the sucker that paid it, so...
