    Just got a new Mac without a disc drive. This is my first upgrade in a while and I needed a drive to copy old files over. This one is great and cheap! Very happy.

    Dating back to cpm computers with various drives to transfer data, this is like today's equilvalent to the old floppy disks to transfer data with. I had a laptop with no cd dvd drive and used this to transfer files with. Worked like a charm and I transfered several files to another computer with no hickups at all. Of course this drives holds gigabytes of data as opposed to the old floppy disks. But the process of transferring data was basically the same. I highly recommend for any laptop that does not have an optical drive.

    It is a great, portable CD/DVD writer to compensate for the fact that most modern laptop computer do not have a drive built in. Made by a reputable brand.

    Our new laptop did not have a built-in CD/DVD drive, so we purchased the LG - 8x External USB Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive. I'm very pleased with its performance so far!
