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.

    I purchased this for my Mac book pro. Instead of buying Apple's much higher priced external drive, I bought this one. It's easy to use and works great!

    I purchased this when the internal DVD burner/player in my desktop bit the dust. It has worked well for me so far, albeit not as fast or convenient as the internal one, but does get the job done.

    As notebooks get smaller and lighter things need to be removed from them. Not having an optical drive isn't a possibility for me. This one works perfect with a tiny footprint.

    I was use to a much larger external DVD writer/player so I was a bit hesitant to purchase it. It definitely does everything I need it to do and quickly.
