    Works for the purpose intended. Very slimline, which makes it convenient to pack for a mobile worker. Not the fastest reader, but more than adequate to get the job done.

    I was somewhat surprised to find that my new computer did not include a DVD drive. I bought this external DVD drive and it works perfectly.

    It did what I wanted it for: Use old DVDs in my laptop, which has no DVD drive. I haven’t yet tried the “Write“ function, so my rating does not include that. Overall, I’m happy with my purchase.

    This works well and is very quiet. I was surprised that it read a one of my problem DVDs that none of my laptops would read with their built-in drives. Just plugged it in and it worked perfectly the first time.

    It works just as I hoped it would. It takes care of all the things my old heavy laptop's built-in CD drive did. So when needed, its a nice addition to my new light weight, easy travel, Lenovo hard disk laptop.

    I would have given this product a 5 star review but the software that came with it doesn't have the ability to read some of the files that I use. I have had to load a program that will do what I need to do. Other than that, it is a good product.

    Works great. I was able to complete work that had been selves too long. I had considered paying extra for the blue ray version but for what the price it does everything it’s supposed to.

    Bought this for my son who has a new computer with internal CD-Rom... He loves it; he has so many CDs and he really wanted to be able to just upload them rather than search and download hundreds of his favorite songs.

    The PC I built did not have an internal drive, and needed a disc drive for some software downloads. The device works great and was instantly recognized by the computer. It's very thin and unobtrusive.

    New streamline systems do not have all the slots needed to run your life so having this device to allow you to use to view your information or write and save information is a must.

    Used to import / export data at work. They were extensively used and no one has reported any issues. Definitely recommend this especially now that laptops don’t come with an optical drive.
