Customers love the product's exceptional ease of use, strong overall performance, and attractive price point. They also appreciate its compact size, lightweight design, impressive speed, and quiet operation, along with its convenient USB-only power and broad compatibility. The only notable concern raised by customers is the requirement for separate software when using it with a Mac.

    I purchased this for my laptop to transfer some medical files from disc to my laptop as well as a USB drive. Installed easily and worked just as I needed it. The only thing is you would think as old as the technology is that it is a little overpriced, especially considering the USB is just 2.0 and not 3.0 technology. Other than that, it's great and I couldn't be happier.

    So far works fine. Fast enough for my needs. Seems a little flimsy, but for the price it’s OK.

    Bought this a while ago and couldn’t be more satisfied! I started using this for burning CDs and it is great. Would recommended for burning CDs. DISCLAIMER: I use ITunes to burn it so you would need a separate burning software.

    Product worked as needed to provide download of previously recorded CDs containing family photos. Will also use to download training videos since new desktop computer does not have a DVD drive. Expect same performance with the training videos and any other need to download data/nformation.
