    It actually works well. Worth the money. Was a little skeptical but glad i decided to purchase it after all. It comes with the connect cable and a Dvd to get started.

    Many new products no longer come with cd/dvd drives. I bought 4 of these at an awesome price. They seem to work well and if they break for some reason they are easily and inexpensively replaced. A no brainer.

    For a very cheap external DVD drive this does the trick. With only one usb plug for power and data you avoid the need to take up two ports for power. Write and read speeds have been reliable thus far. For something as cheap as this, you can NOT go wrong

    I really like that it only takes 2 minutes to burn 7 songs in wav files. It sounds great and works amazing! Glad I got it for $24.99 instead of $39.99. I love my savings! Thank you Best Buy!
