Just what I needed.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This works so well. (I'm actually using it to rip a CD as I type this) The sound isn't too much for me, but I also like the whir of drives. It never gets overheated or has problems with power. It's a little hard to get CD/DVD's out sometimes, but it's never much of an inconvenience. Super easy to set up and crazy user-friendly.

Solution for old technology
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought some language learning books online and was horrified to see they came with CDROMS (what the heck?!). So I dropped in to Best Buy and got this bad boy. Works super easy, just plugged it into my MacBook and downloaded all tracks into iTunes.

Very Happy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this USB external cd/dvd player/recorder to install some programs on a new laptop that doesn't have an internal one. Installation was plug and play. Installations went without a hitch. Have not recorded anything, but very happy with what I have used it for. And the price and delivery were great.

Noice
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great! I can now watch all my movies frame-by-frame for animation purposes. Just make sure to get VLC Media Player, the disc that comes with it is a bit too confusing and outdated.

Good Christmas gift

Easy set up and multiple uses
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This "extra" on our original purchase was supposed to be for use when a DVD was to be viewed on the computer - that is not often. I have used this in multiple ways since hooking it up - from watching Christmas DVD's to burning personalized music CD's as Christmas presents for family and friends. It was easy to set up and I am not finding things that it cannot handle

Buggy and not user Friendly
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.it's okay but as my first choice, it doesn't do much. No real software to speak of. Installation is finicky. Returned it and brought the ASUS. 100% better choice.

Good DVD player
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good quality player. Easy to plug in and set up. My only issue was the box, it doesn’t show what type of connections or cords come with it. More info on the box would help out a lot.

||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My family bought me a laptop for Christmas, that didn't have a disc drive. This was a perfect addition to it. It runs quiet and loads fast. I not used it to burn anything yet, but I have a good feeling about it considering how well it has done with everything else.
