    Got this to have a CD/DVD device for our HP Spectre laptop. it seems to work fine, and one would be hard pressed to beat the price. It has the usual CyberLink CD/DVD software bundled with. I have also tested it with a USB-C "hub" - both HP's and a third party hub, and it seems to work fine.

    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.

    I purchased a HP desktop and did not know it did not have a cd rom for the cd programs. So I purchased this. Like it and easy to use. Just wish the usb cord was longer so I could put in on my desk.

    My new Lenovo laptop does not have an installed CD/DVD drive, so I needed something dependable that I could use to play and download my music CDs. This LG is GREAT!!!! I use it all of the time.

    So far it works well for reading cd/dvd/gaming discs as my computer didn't have a disc drive. It does feel super light and almost flimsy especially when putting a disc in, time will tell how long this holds up. It's basic, wish it didn't pop out to put your disc in, feels old school, i wish i could have found one that you were able to just insert, but this will suffice.

    Great CD Drive

    This CD drive is sufficient for all of your disc requirements. Since they don’t seem to put these in the computers any longer it just makes sense to have one on the shelf for when you need it. Plugged it into my MacBook and I was reading CDs right away. No need to buy more expensive versions in my opinion it does its job just fine.

    I got this to rip a bunch of my old CDs with, since I haven’t had a computer with an optical drive since - well, I can’t remember (can you?). The big worry with a buy like this is - gosh it seems so cheap, is it going to be klugey? No worries friends. Super easy, plug and play, gets the job done and no hassles.

    Works well exactly a described. Plugged it into my computer and it worked well playing and burning CDs. I bought it as a back-up in case I needed it for my next laptop which probably won't have a DVD/CD drive.

    I picked the DVD player so I could load a disc for my taxes. It’s quite the plug and play. It was very easy to use. Also, it came with the cord to plug directly into my laptop. Looking forward to try using it for movies.

    This has performed extremely well. Of the 5 computers in the house 4 have used this. Computers don't often come with onboard CD/DVD drives so this is handy and cheaper than equipping each computer with it's own onboard unit. It has been dropped a few times yet it marches merrily on.
