Customers are saying

Customers regard the product highly for its exceptional ease of use, strong overall performance, and attractive price. Many also appreciate its convenient USB-only operation, compact size, and broad compatibility, alongside its impressive speed, lightweight design, and quiet operation. The only minor concern raised by some customers is the requirement for separate software when used with Mac systems.

    Work great.. as advertised. Glad they are still available because my internal recorder died. Not as fast, but eas expected being a USB drive. Still very satisfied. :)

    Your pick up only system, used during the Covid19 pandemic, is very effective. Shop and pay online precisely for what I want. Email notification when product is ready for pickup, then I go pick it up. No lines, no excessive waiting. Bravo!

    Very satisfied with this hard drive. Had bought a laptop, not remembering they don't always come with a CD drive. Seems a little flimsy, but serves the purpose very well.

    Does what it needs to do. Most Laptops don't have CD/DVD capacity anymore. This did what it needed to do.

    I recently bought a 2 in 1 laptop with no optical drive. This one is dual layer and I've made a few DVDs so far. It feels very light, but performs as expected. I haven't tested the advance features or dual layer recording yet.

    Works well however the usb connector is a bit flimsy and it will lose connection to the computer by moving the unit slightly. Most of the time the unit sits on a shelf so this isn't too much of an issue.

    I bought this as an addition to my Lenovo laptop, as mpst all laptops nowadays do not have the dvd capability, so if you happen to receive a program/software that is only on disc, then you will need this to use it.
