    Makes new laptops thinner.

    Most new laptops don't come with DVD/RW drives, in order to keep the laptops thinner and less weight. This unit is super light weight and works perfectly on my mini-PC which has no drives. I have owned this nearly a year already and used it about a dozen times. It works exactly like it should...just plug and go. And, the price is very affordable.

    I love this external CD drive! It's super fact and exactly what I needed!! The guys at Best Buy are amazing...they are the ones who recommended that I just get the external drive because the one I had on my HP computer stopped working...but the rest of the computer is completely fine. (The external drive works even better than the internal drive ever did).

    This was a great addition to my MacBook system. It hooks up easily and is ready for use right now, nothing to download or install. I use it mainly to add music from CDs to my playlists, but I also burn an occasional disk for friends and family. The cost was minimal and I'm quite happy with this drive.

    I bought originally because my home desktop computer didn't come with an optical drive. It has worked great so when I bought my laptop a few weeks ago and it didn't have an optical drive. I knew exactly which one to buy. It's been working great with the new computer too. If you need an optical drive I highly recommend this one.

    Plays my CD's and DVD's just fine. Prefer it to be internal on new laptop but can't stop technology. Cheap enough and a no brainer to setup and play. Delivered to my doorstep within a couple of days.

    Occasionally have the need to load a CD to my laptop which does not have a CD reader, picked this up an it is perfect. Very easy setup, plug and play, priced right and slim which makes it easy to store or carry in my laptop bag. Would recommend.

    This was to download my music to CDs since most laptops and desktops do not have the driver built in any longer. This runs smoothly and quietly. I did notice it downloads faster on CD-R than CD-RW. Super easy to use. Good price.

    Haven’t used it but once so far, but seems to work fine. Easy connection to my new all-in-one HP computer which doesn’t have the cd-dvd player like my 2011 all-in-one HP computer did. The old built in would copy DVD’s and cd’s though and I’m not sure if this one does. Price is great!

    Good Compact Choice

    It works well, very compact. I was looking for something a little larger, but those are no longer available, and this one was. If you like compact for occasional use this would be a good choice for you. If you plan on burning CDs daily, you might see if something else is available. (The only other option I found was several hundred dollars more than this.)

    very good item; got this so I could use the CD that came with an epsom printer I had just bought to install all the correct drivers, etc. low price. does everything. item comes with a CD with a bunch of useful software on it. I think the build is perfectly fine, kinda disagree with other reviews that call it flimsy. It isn't.
