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.

    What a great product for under $30. The drivers are already resident on both Macs and Win 10 Pro so it was just plug and play. I’m a fan!

    I needed this to load some software onto a laptop… which worked… but it was a little clumsy and feels like it would be easy to break. It’s very fragile feeling. I do like that I can watch dvds or play cds on my computer. But I wish it had some sort of remote to control it.
