Customers are saying

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.

    Got this because my new laptop does not have a cd drive. Works well, and was very affordable. Easy to set up, but not sure about the attached software suite.

    There were many external drives to choose from and this one was among the least expensive. It does the same job as the most expensive. Save money and get this one.

    I don’t know if my expectations are too high but I wish it transferred data faster. I used it to put music on a computer and it worked. Just wish it was a bit faster. Very easy to connect to my Mac.

    Although the drawer is a little flimsy, it does a good job for what I need. Just got a new laptop w/o a disk player. This is a great little plug & play option. Nothing fancy.
