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.

    Bought this for my daughter to use with her new laptop, which doesn't have a DVD player. She needed this for the DVD collection that she has. It works well and only needs one cable for both power and data.

    Needed to get some old data that was stored on CD but got a new PC and most new PC's don't have a CD drive. Got this one and it was easy to hook up and use.

    Love this to play those now old fashioned discs... we loaded a couple of old CDs and they played perfectly with no issues. No special software, no unwieldy manual, no PDFs - just plug it in and go. Love it!

    My new Dell all-in-one didn't have a CD/DVD drive. I am actually glad that it didn't for an external one is a lot handier to access on my desk. Seems to work very well. Plays movies with no hesitation & has a quick RW ability.

    Love this product. Since I don't have a player on my new computer I needed something that can transfer songs. This is perfect and does not take up a lot of room on my desk. This is my new go to product for transferring songs and movies.

    In a world where everything now goes to the Cloud, one has to determine the safety of storing information on those servers. This external drive allows you to be "old school" and take the same information and upload it to a CD reader. Simple concept and you control the documentation. It might be old school, but it allows you to keep information in your possession.

    Speee is not great, but good for laptops that don’t come with dvd writer. There is a great feature that comes with this drive is you can connect to your smart tv USB input and watch the contents, picture or video directly on tv. Cable is short and no separate power required
