    For some reason an external DVD reader/burner I had stopped working. I purchased this as a replacement and it worked fine.

    Bought this external DVD-RW drive to add to a new computer that had no optical drive. The drive works well, and my computer now has an optical drive.

    Unfortunate that one now needs to buy an external drive as newer laptops do not have this feature, but this product worked as it is suppose to with no issues.

    My daughter has been playing cd's without any problems since getting this player. She played her first dvd today, there were limited to no instructions with the player and none displayed when the dvd was placed in the player. The "Best Buy geek squad" to the rescue, we had to find and download the software. This info should have been with the player.

    I needed a external drive that works with a new laptop that no longer had a DVD drive. This does everything I needed it to do, very completely and efficiently. It works well with Windows.

    Low price, I had a CD, DVD player that went bad in my Dell computer. The only way to fit it was to tear the whole computer apart. So I just added the usb plug and play DVD, CD unit.It is well worth the money, I made about 25 videos, from tapes to DVDs. I’m very happy with this unit.

    It's simple and straightforward. The tray is on the fragile side but if handled with care will last a long time. Best Buy was great in handling me picking it up from the story.

    This works perfect with my HP Envy 360. Lightweight and small so it doesn't take up a lot of space on the desk when using. Perfect for when my husband wants to look at old military photos he has saved on discs.

    It's a dvd player, does exactly what it is supposed to do. New laptops don't come with a drive these days, so having the ability to plug one in as needed is great.

    Most newer systems do not come with an optical drive. I needed two of these at a decent price since I just dropped about two grand on two systems. Got them for 20 bucks each (half price) and don't have to worry about excessive heat since they are external.
