    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.

    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.

    My laptop DVD player stopped working so needed an external drive. This was inexpensive and easy to use. I connect only when needed so it spends most time in a drawer. Reads all movie disks I've tried. I haven't tried burning anything yet.

    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.

    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.

    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).

    I am very happy with the external disk drive. When I bought my laptop I did not think I would need a disk drive, but at the most inconvenient times I would need one. Problem solved perfectly!

    Apple no longer includes disc drive because they cater to customers who download software, music and movies, but some of us oldsters still have CDs to play (especially from indie musicians not on Spotify). This does the job for under $20! Ding 1 star for cheap plastic body.
