They also appreciate its compact size, lightweight design, impressive speed, and quiet operation, along with its convenient USB-only power and broad compatibility.

    I like the "safety" of an external optical drive; less to worry about since is not part of your laptop. Easy to use and good start up speed.

    If you are connecting this to a desktop, go internal instead. This is great for portable use though.
