    Sad that so many personal computers no longer came with built-in CD-ROMS ... I STILL use CD's on a regular basis and so I needed one with my computer. These one nicely fit the bill ... the price was quite affordable and it works great.

    Picked this up because our laptop didn’t come with an optical drive. Just plug and play, no annoying software updates required. Runs well and is pretty quiet, so no complaints here!

    I purchased this drive as support equipment for my growing collection of computers that don't include an internal device. This device is sturdy, performs well, and economically fills the bill. When not in use it stores nicely on a shelf or snuggles in a small drawer. It allows me to easily access music, data, programs, and video I have stored on cds or dvds.

    Since I don't have a DVD drive on my MS Pro 3, I needed something that I could use to copy important files, pictures, etc. This is absolutely great! I didn't even need to install the software as I already had the later version of the necessary software on my tablet. It plays DVDs and CDs perfectly, is light weight, and easy to carry in my case. It only took a little while to download my files and pictures onto a RW-DVD and the pictures came out nice and clear. Great Product for the price.

    Excellent disk reader for most if not all your needs! Comes with links to install for any computer for DVD capabilities. Fast disk download and upload, and the slim design takes up little space on your desk or work station and makes it easier to store for travel. Exceptional design for a really great price!

    This is a great deal on sale for $25 and works perfectly fine. We don’t plan on using it excessively but needed it for accessing some CDs and DVDs because laptops and desktops usually don’t have CD/DVD drives. We need to install Microsoft Office onto a new desktop. We have not used it to burn a DVD or CD yet so can’t review that aspect but for $25 we are getting what we need anyway.
