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.

    Most computers nowadays don’t have a cd-rom or a way to play dvds etc. This is the best quality for the price for an external drive. I use it for my MacBook.

    Mine went bad on my laptop so the Geek Squad guys suggested that I buy this instead of having mine replaced. Less cost in the long run. Works perfectly.

    Love the size. It is small enough to stay out of the way when not in use, but big enough to help in so many areas. Have not recorded to it yet, but that is to come.
