    A necessary purchase

    Works as it should. I mean its an external DVD drive. The only reason for the purchase was because almost all the new laptops that are on the market do not come with internal disk drives anymore.

    This unit is compact, light weight and has a separate USB power cord. I have used it a couple of times and I have not had any issues.

    Needed a cd drive to load some old games from a cd. Worked very well. Is a great product for the money. Used it on two different computers. Easy to hook up and use.

    This is my second drive - it’s reliable, and does what I need it to do. Laptops generally don’t have DVD or cd drives anymore, so this is helpful for using them.

    We have some older software, pictures, and music on dvds, and our newest laptops did not come with drives. This drive plugs into a USB port when needed, and we were able to copy everything to the cloud. Perfect solution!

    Had a couple of things that I needed to install to my laptop from CD/DVD and since it doesn't have a drive I picked this up. It worked great for getting the things I needed installed and I keep it around just in case I need it again later on.

    A great product that is necessary if you want to read, load DVD’s in stripped down model laptops. Very low priced for the utility of the product. Only negative is it is an additional piece of hardware to keep track of and handle.

    I like this one for the price. It does exactly what it was intended to with no problems. It might not have all the bells and whistles like others but if u need just the basics for a good price this is it.
