    I guess I'm old, but I still like buying physical media when I purchase music, so when I moved from an 11 year-old desktop to a new laptop without a CD drive, I needed something to rip my CDs for listening on-the-go. This drive has performed great for that purpose. Haven't used it's writing capabilities, so I can speak to those.

    Good product. A little and hard to set up. Once you get it working it is fine. Lets see how long it lasts. I use this for police body camera videos which can be hard to play. I have purchased 2 similar products on amazon and they did not work. I am glad I was finally able to get one that works. This player works with Windows 10 as many do not. I have not tried to burn any discs with this product.

    Most newer laptops do not include a CD or DVD drive anymore. This external one connects and is powered through a standard USB port for those few instances where you need one. The only drawback is a lack of BlueRay support, but at the low price that is to be expected.
