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.

    Purchased to help rip audio discs. Works quickly and quietly. 4 instead of 5 because I had to purchase a Y splitter to make sure the drive got enough power to hit max read/write speed.

    I bought this to play DVD movies and so far it is working well (played ~10 movies since purchase). I have attached it to an HP Spectre laptop and use the "Any Media Player" application to play the DVDs.

    I purchased a laptop computer that does not have a cd/dvd drive. I don’t need one very often, therefore the external drive I purchased fulfills my need extremely well while also being very reasonably priced.

    Works well. Laptop manufacturers don't put these things in laptops anymore, but we still need them occasionally! It does the trick. No complaints.

    I wanted an optical drive for a Surface Pro running Windows 10. This worked fine for me, right out of the box. I had another optical drive but the computer didn’t always recognize it. So far this has been great

    Synced right up, runs discs without any hiccups. Little noisy, but that's the nature of the beast. @ $25.00 can't beat the price.
