    Real easy to use. I plugged it in, and I was able to upload my cd's to iTunes, just like when the cd drives where part of the laptop.

    It works as advertised. Just plug it in, and your Windows 10 knows what to do with it. It's an essential item for gaming machines. They don't have extra drive bays, and you never know when you need to load a driver, (in my case, a printer driver).

    This thing is so light and slim, I wasn't sure if it would be up to the challenge, but it performed well. I think at times it can be a bit loud but I don't use it very often so that is okay.

    Currently my new laptop does not have a disc reader so that sucked since I have a lot of data I need to transfer over from discs. However with this I'm able to do that with its usb connect. Definitely a life saver.

    Simple to install but the interface app is not really suited for casual use in playing DVDs. Luckily there are plenty of third party apps that work well instead. Well made, basic and inexpensive device.

    Our old laptop had a dvd drive build right in. So when it came time to replace the laptop, we had many dvds with special memories. Now the new laptops very seldom have this built in. We purchased the external and are very happy with our purchase.

    Very pleased with purchase and particularly with service. For some reason, the media player on my laptop could not access the DVD player. The Geek Squad representative showed great patience in downloading another media player that worked.

    Laptop like the Microsoft Surface and others no longer come with a CD-DVD player recorder. I needed this to access my dozens of saved photo, music, and data CDs I can use this on multiple devices.
