    While it feels rather flimsy, and makes quite a lot of noise when working, it is a useful little thing and worth the price. No idea about it's longevity though.

    I researched several drives, including the Apple drive. While most had marginal reviews this drive had the best reviews and a great price. The drive works well with my MacBook Pro and has performed flawlessly out of the box since.

    My laptop doesn't include a cd drive, so I bought this so that I can watch a few of my workout dvds and make mixed cds for my parents (they still like listening to them in their car). It worked perfectly for me and I haven't experienced any issues. It was very easy to use, just plug into your laptop.

    As advertised. Unless you're trying to burn mass quantities of DVDs it's fast enough. And if you are burning a lot of DVDs, use a desktop computer with a superfast drive. It's light and easily portable.

    I wanted to transfer music CDs to my desktop. My CD reader on my desktop wouldn't work, so this was a great option. The price was right as well. Easy to set-up and easy to use. It plugs in to a USB port.

    This is one awesome external cd/dvd drive. The unit performs well for its size and primary functions too. In addition, Best Buy had a very nice discounted price at the time of purchase too.

    External CD drive

    I bought this on sale for under $25 since my new computer no longer comes with a CD/DVD drive in it. I just plugged it into the USB port and it was able to read photo, data and most music CD's I tried. It didn't like the files on one music CD, and I don't know exactly why, but since that is not my major reason for the purchase, I'm not too concerned. I wouldn't expect it to handle much physical abuse, but it was well worth the price.

    There isn’t much to write about a review on a product like this. I think I got this for 25$ on a sale that going in at the time. It is slim. It works. It was cheap. Overall a good purchase.

    This worked with my MacBook Air. This is a USB 2.0 Drive. Some MacBook Airs have problems holding a wifi connection and using a USB 3.0 device (a problem I was having) going to this optical drive (USB 2.0) solved my problem.

    Most computers don’t have disk drives and there is a reason - you hardly ever need it. But on the rare occasion you do... that where I found myself. I think I have only used his like once or twice but it does exactly what I need each time I plug it in. A good product especially for the price.
