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.

    Cross platform —yes. Works great no matter what I plug it into. Very easy to carry around in my pack and pull it out as I need it. No problems.

    These kinds of peripherals are famous for failing so reliability is really all I'm looking for. This thing continues to work as expected and was very reasonably priced.

    I bought this so I could buy computers w/o disc drives (which I rarely use). I've used this a couple times to upload some discs to my iTunes library. Works fine.

    Price and basic functionality are fine. It does seem a bit flimsy but it seems perfectly adequate for my needs, especially in the age of downloads.

    As my Surface Pro laptop did not include a DVD drive, I purchased this item to fill in this gap. The drive is compact and does everything that I need it to do.

    Very lightweight and easy to use. The speed at which it downloads CD’s to laptop is slower than I expected. It does accomplices what I intended it for.

    Fewer and fewer laptops are coming with optical drives today so it helps to always have one on hand. This one work just fine for reading and writing to discs.
