    Until I was dealing with disks from hospital records, I had no idea that I could get this for my laptop. I wish I had known this before now. Works perfectly!

    I need to install a program from a DVD to a laptop with no player. I picked this up at Best Buy for about $15. It has since worked perfectly every time I needed it. It is not anything more than a CD/DVD RW device, but if that is what you need this will do the job.

    Picked this up to use with my all-in-one, which doesn't have a DVD/CD drive. Works like a charm, and the slim profile means that it doesn't take up a lot of space on my desk. I've used it to install several pieces of software on my computer and it's worked great!

    Great external drive. The Plug N Play setup was easy as they come and didn't take long at all. The drive reads at a decent speed and doesn't use a lot of system memory or resources. A great buy!

    So glad I decided to use an external Drive when I purchased my new laptop. This is very easy to use and hook-up and I only drag it around only when I know I'll need it.

    We needed a dvd slot to transfer some cd’s to our new laptop. I can’t believe laptops don’t have them built in anymore. This solved our problem and was reasonably priced just to connect with a USB.
