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.

    The External DVD player is a nice feature to have as most affordable laptops don't have internal option for one.

    I purchased this hard drive so that my son could use DVDs and CDs with his new MacBook. An adapter cable was required to fit the ports. Once plugged in, the devices recognized each other and functioned as expected.

    I purchased this to burn my CD collection. It does that fine. The only songs that didn't make the conversion were if the CD was too scratched. It is plug and play.

    Drive installed easily with included software but could not get it to play a DVD as the software does not include a media player and windows 10 doesn't either. So have to find an after market option.
