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.

    Easy to get this device to work...virtually nothing to do except plug it in. Did not need much of the software that comes with it. Basic functions have worked well.

    This was a Christmas gift for our grandson. He says it does what he needs it to do for him so I guess that's a good thing.

    This is a good add on for lap tops that do not have internal CD players. Would have like another manufacturer however not available at this location

    A little slow speed-wise but works for dumping old PS1 and PS2 games. Works good enough.

    Computers sometimes don't come with disk drives to make more room for FANS, but that's ok because this was only 25 bucks.
