    External DVD player

    Just plug and play. The external player works great. It does have a software suite on DVD but I was unable to get it to install on my MacBook. It did install on my Windows desktop. The software suite does just enough to entice people to pay to upgrade it. I just uninstalled it. The DVD player does everything I need it to do without the included software suite that you will need to upgrade for many things you may wish to do.

    What a handy little helper to read your DVD/CDs on new computers that don't feature a disk drive. It's simple to use, very affordable, and gets the job done.

    Very easy to hook up and use right out of the box. You just have to be very careful because the front will come off easily.

    I used this on Ubuntu and Windows 10 to review a series of old CD-ROMs with archival data on them. Had no issues with speed or compatibility. Did not attempt to write data or use the DVD functions.

    The Geek Squad tech, Luke recommended this product to go along with the laptop that we purchased. He was very helpful in helping with the laptop purchase and explained to us the features of the laptop and what we needed to download CDs. Answered all our question and he was a GREAT help.

    The quality is excellent. And at such an affordable price. Didn't require any special configuring -- literally plug and play. It's a perfect addition to the PCs, tabs, TVs, wireless speakers, headphones, ear buds and other items we've bought from Best Buy the past several years. I can listen to songs I haven't heard to in years and pull up photos full of sweet memories. Thank you so much.

    At first I had trouble getting to work. Now I believe the problem was I had not properly seated the disk before closing the drawer. Because of the size, I find to very helpful to have the drive on a solid, flat surface so the open drawer is supported when inserting or removing a disk. (Older drives where much bigger and had a more rigid drawer that did not need any support.)
