    I was looking for an external DVD drive and happen to find this on sale. It plays all of my DVD's and music cds without any issues. Definitely would recommend this to people who are in the market for one.

    Works as intended with my MacBook. I think that my music cd’s were of poor quality and that’s what created my issues of not the whole cd being copied. And of course getting it on sale is always a plus.

    A double-sided burner for $18 was too good to pass up. Makes a good add on for my family Apple users too, so I can back up both PC and Mac to DVD for restores - just in case!!

    solid basic external drive

    Modern laptops often don't come with a drive so I needed a basic, reliably external for a fair price so I could play/rip some audio CDs to move into iTunes and this did the trick. Worked well, not noisy, looked good, solid cable connection, a little flimsy feel to the tray when fully extended but that's not unexpected in such a small light device. good deal.

    I was able to install this on my new laptop. So far I haven’t been able to install or use it on my wife’s new desktop computer. I thought I should be able to use it between two different devices by just plugging it in and installing the software for each. Not sure why it’s not allowing me to?

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I don't understand why computers don't come with disc drives anymore. But if you're gonna buy an external disc drive, this one is a great buy. The Best Buy, if you will lol.

    Love it! exactly what I needed. Easy set up just plug it in, it comes with a CD-Rom to set it up but I didn't need it. I originally got it for my new 2019 MacBook Pro 16" , but then I decided to use it with my old 2010 iMac since the cd/dvd drive stopped working years ago. I just use it to watch dvds,

    As with most laptops, mine didn't come with a DVD drive. I purchased this external DVD drive and it works great. It comes with software instructions, but so far I've only used it to listen to audio CDs and haven't tried to burn anything with it. The price is great. The small, thin size stores away nicely on the bookshelf and is ready for use whenever I need it.
