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.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    There's not much to say about this other than it works. My laptop doesn't have a cd player built in so i opted for this external drive. I mainly use it to rip cds into my laptop. It works with no issue.

    I bought a new laptop and needed an external CD. Best Buy guys recommended this unit and I bought it. No frills, no problems using it to load software. Good buy for any new laptop what does not have its own internal CD drive.

    yearning for back-in-the-day when CD drive was incorporated into laptop. too much connecting and disconnecting with a separate device. BUT ... it works great and serves my needs.

    I've only had limited need to use this item but it was necessary to install some previously purchased software. In each case, item worked as expected and no problems. Big thumbs up!!
