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.

    It is an external drive and it does work with my macbook pro with only thunderbolt ports... just be careful, you have to have a usb-c to micro usb cord, or use an adapter and plug it directly into the computer... using a hub does not work at all. Also, the drive is skittish about movement... any shaking will disrupt playback... but i feel this is normal at this price point

    The external drive worked great. I was doing a course on a CD and popped the CD into the external drive and began my course without problems.

    A really great value for the money. Product worked well and came with a suite of media software. Streamlined design and feels very sturdy. Not flimsy like some brands. Very easy to use.

    This reader works as it should, isn't too expensive and is small enough to hide under the computer screen.

    This review could change but so far this disk drive is working just fine. It’s getting light use so we’ll see how it’s doing in a couple months

    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.

    Was on sale when purchased which made it a no-brainer to buy. Had lived without an external optic drive for a while and then needed one to use on my laptop. Bought two and gave one as a gift.
