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.

    Basic CD / DVD carriage. Easy to use. Functional. This replaces a similar one which had lasted me three or four years of fairly regular use.

    i had been looking for a sleek modern looking external cd player and could not find one that I liked. I looked everywhere not only big-name stores but also local ads all to no avail. finally, i tried best buy as a last resort because someone told me they were expensive. to my surprise it was cheaper than some of the ones i looked at that were used. Thank you Best Buy you are awesome!!!!

    This external dvd drive is the perfect add on for my laptop. It is a slim, lightweight drive and is also sturdy. I snapped this up while it was on sale for an extremely good price.

    Great external DVD reader - a little workhorse. It won't read Blu-rays, FYI, but it is reliable for DVDs and CDs. Speed is excellent, no lag. Haven't tried the writer function.

    There are still time when I need to upload files from a CD to my laptop. Since none of my laptops have a CD drive. This was an extremely reasonable price device that did the job.

    Compared to the other external drives I own it works every bit as good, in fact so far it is the best one I have dollar for dollar. I've already recommended it to others.

    It's weird as I always had my CD writer in my PC, but now I'm getting use to it and liking it. Always getting new music and I feel a CD is safer to use while driving than my iPod. I can change CD's without looking at them.
