    The CD-RW drive costed me about $30 when I bought it in the store. In order to get it to work properly, I had to download software online at a cost of about $60.

    Have an ultra thin laptop, no DVD Drive, bought this and it was great for watching occasional DVDs, burning longer home movies with the dual layer and don’t need the extra weight of having an internal one in my laptop.

    Now that new laptops and desk tops no longer have built in dvd/ CD drives, this model is inexpensive and is a plug and play. I am very pleased with this external unit.

    If you have a modern computer without a CD?DVD player, and need to add software from a disc, this is the only...and simple...way. Excellent deal, works perfect, good cost.

    My son has a gaming computer but it didn’t have a DVD/CD player. He uses the computer for school work as well, so it was a must and just right for the desk. Small and compact.

    I was having problems with my cd burner inside of my computer tower and decided to get an external burner. I use it mostly for audio music cd's and it performs very well
