Customers are saying

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.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    For the price, you can't go wrong. Its kind of just plastic, but seems to work good and gave me access to some CDs with photos I haven't been able to see for awhile.

    Now that many of the newer computers have discontinued the disk drive, this comes in handy when installing software or transferring old photos to your computer.

    Bought for my iMac. Same performance and same exact specs for a fraction of the price. This time not worth spending the extra money just for the Apple logo.

    I wanted a fairly inexpensive optical drive for my iMac. I plugged in the drive and it works without issue. Note: this is a CD read/write only. It is NOT blue ray capable.

    I purchased an All-In-One PC to replace my old Desktop. My new PC does not have a built-in DVD RW/CD-RW drive. This portable drive provides me with a drive that I can record or play DVD's and CD's!
