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 was an ad on purchase with a Mac Mini. I had need for an optical drive and this fit the need nicely. Inexpensive and small form factor. Easy plug and play when needed.

    Works perfectly on my iMac. Uses any USB connection to be connected to A Mac or to Windows. CD that comes with it seems to only work with Windows, but is really unnecessary on a Mac.

    I needed a new CD player for my laptop. I decided that an external one would be the way to go since it was so much less in price. For $25, I have used it a bunch and it's still going strong.

    Call me old, but I think everyone should have an external DVD drive. It's so convenient because not everything is online quite yet and there are still a lot of people who use CD's and DVD's
