Customers are saying

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 works really great, I wouldn't change it. The only downside is the cord not being long enough that I can set it a good distance away.

    This device works quite nicely. Due to my new desktop computer not having a disk drive that I could use to burn old DVDs and CDs, I had to make this purchase. It's very light weight, yet effective.

    This drive is easy to use as I needed to RIP audio CDs onto my laptop. The laptop is a new Dell inspiron 15 in monitor system with a solid state hard drive. Since most laptops no longer come with a CD drive, this fit the bill perfectly and can stay home where it belongs when I tote the laptop around.

    I'm finding music CDs for a dollar now, and I needed a drive to copy over to my hard drive. It's totally plug and play using USB with the cord supplied, and is ready to go as is. It does all I need and much more.

    I needed an optical drive for work as much of our software is shipped on a disk, but few laptops have a drive these days. I was pleasantly surprised with the ease of synchronizing and integration. My first use was flawless. Great to have less stress on the road without an IT department...

    This slim jim DVD-CD burner works flawlessly with my older LG external burner. Being powered by the USB port is a nice feature, meaning fewer cords. Defintely a keeper. Why is it that all DVD-CD burner installed in home computers perform so poorly ?
