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.

    They're fine - for about a year

    When they're working they're fine, but they have a nasty habit of dying after a year or so. The only reason I've had 3 or 4 of them is they're relatively inexpensive and until recently they've been the only brand the local best buy carries in house. If you just use it for light in-home use it's okay, but if you use it in a business setting I'd suggest something more reliable.

    Very easy to use. Just plug and play. It is very useful as our laptop doesn't come with a CD drive. The drawback is its speed is kind of slow
