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.

    Works well. Bought my son a new laptop which didn't have a CD/DVD drive. Bought this so he could play some of his old games.

    I bought this to replace this exact same model after it wouldn't accept USB cord. This is perfect. The last one worked for over 4 years before it stopped functioning, so I expect this will last just as long if not longer.

    I couldn't believe that this inexpensive external DVD drive is so good. This day and age all basic laptops don't have DVD/CD drive so you have to download everything. We love our external drive, we use it a few times every month to back up stuff, to download stuff or just to load new software. It works just as good as the first day we used it.

    I needed a dvd writer to make an installation disk for Windows. This did the trick. Most people use usb drives but when you know people who have older pc's, this is an option if your personal rig doesn't have an internal dvd writer.
