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's a nice edition for a laptop if you don't need a SD card slot. But I needed both so I returned it because my laptop doesn't have a SD card slot.

    Bought this to replace my internal disc drive that does not read a lot of my disks. Did not want to replace my old drive so I purchased this external drive. Easy to install and use. Can use this drive on any of my computers.

    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.

    Good DVD/CD to attach to my laptop. It's sad that laptops don't come with built-in players/writers anymore. But, this works great and is fairly lightweight, so it doesn't create much extra weight in my bag. I keep it in my laptop bag so I have it whenever I need it. So far, so good,

    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!

    good inexpensive purchase. My drive in my computer went out and instead of taking the computer to the shop I purchased this and it works fine. Not like there is a whole lot of programs on disc anymore so it was great
