    DVD drives are not common in laptops anymore. Unfortunately there are still some software that can't be downloaded. this drive does what it is made for and at a great price. I don't need it often, but when I do it works.

    Works well for those rare times you need.... or think you need an optical reader and writer... which is becoming rare. Good speed and pretty much plug and play but if you hook it to a windows 10 machine you still need software to play DVDs.

    Laptops rarely come with CD/DVD writers any more, and sometimes I need to be able to watch a redbox when travelling. Lightweight, powered by the USB, priced right.

    My recent laptop came without a DVD so this was great buy to make my laptop complete. ALthough I know that everything is switching to flash drives, there is always that one item on DVD and not having one is such a bummer, but this helps solve that

    I recently purchased a new computer system but a DVD player was not installed in the system. Many of my old pictures and a few programs are only on DVD. It's easy to plug in and do what needs to be done.

    Fantastic drive for use; I use this with my iMac to transfer CDs, etc. Easy to set up and use, and at less than half the cost of the similar Apple external drive. Well worth what I paid for it.
