Customers love the product's exceptional ease of use, strong overall performance, and attractive price point. 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.

    Very user friendly and come with extra software. I haven"t tried those yet, but they were free, which was a nice gesture to gain inyerest returning customers on items of the same brand.

    This was just what my son needed so that he could play the many computer games that he had that were on a disk. It was super easy to load the software on his laptop.

    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.

    This Drive was simply plug and play, very easy to use and seems to be plenty fast enough. I have a few applications that require a disk in the drive for security and this drive has been performing fine.
