    My new computer did not have a built-in DVD player and this was the recommended one for my newly purchased computer. It works nicely, and was easy to install.

    My new pc lacks a CD drive, so this was an effective way to maintain one of its primary uses -- to play music! Simple to plug-and-play. And, best of all, quite inexpensive!

    This thing works great. It installed itself, all I had to do was plug it in the computer. I use it to download cd's and games and movies onto my computer. I can also write movies and music onto a CD to take with me anywhere.

    If you need CD / DVD access with a USB capable device that doesn't have one, then this worked for me. It seems to work just like a thumb drive as far as plug and play. Although I've only tried it with a Windows 10, 2-in-1.

    It’s basic, and does the job. Consider this if you need to play or use CD’s or DVD’s on your computer. Catch it on sale if you can.

    The DVD drive on my computer quit working. I have tons of CDs and DVDs that I had developed when I was still using film, and then after when I went to a digital camera. I needed to transfer these to my computer so I can make photo books. I went to Best Buy, explained my need to the agent, and was brought right to the correct area. In no time I had checked out, was at home, and transferring photos from CDs and DVDs to my computer. Than you, Best Buy!

    Very easy to use. All you need is to connect it through USB cord that was provided in the box and your good to go! No need to install a program in order to use it. Very portable as you can take it around with you.
