    When my DVD drive in my laptop went out, I contacted customer service and was informed it would cost a minimum of $200 to just look at it. They suggested purchasing an external drive from someplace like Best Buy. I took their advice, went to Best Buy, and with the assistance of a knowledgeable agent, my problem was solved at a cost of under $45. This was a pleasurable experience.

    Nice extension to any laptop. It's very hard to find a CD/DVD player in a laptop currently so at a minimal cost you can add this player/burner and watch movies and listen to CD's on this excellent unit. It simply attaches to your laptop with a USB plug. Great product.

    I love this disc adapter. It helps me with programs that needs to be downloaded from a disk and the item is at a affordable price. This item will be the same item I'll buy next time to replace the old one.

    I purchased my New all in one computer from best buy and I needed a CD burner. Well never fear Best Buy took care of me quick! For just a few dollars I got this wonderful Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive which was basically plug n play, it worked instantly and very fast! I highly recommend this to anyone who needs one, this is it! Thank you Best Buy yet again

    It’s cheap, simple and does what it’s supposed to do. Now a days laptops don’t even have disc drives and neither do desktop computers, I’m not sure about all in one PC’s but digital content is the future. For those people who still want to install music, software, drivers or an OS from a disc, this will be the option for you.

    I use the cd/dvd drive to play music cd's or view old images on cd's or dvd's on both both a desktop and laptop computers. The tray is somewhat fragile but I do use it with some care. Its small and easy to transport. Works fine.

    We needed to download a program from a CD, and our laptop didn't have a built-in player. We purchased this easy, lightweight player that just plugs into our computer's port. It was simple to use and didn't cost us a bundle.
