    Had an issue where I needed a DVD drive to access some files, but haven't had an optical drive on the computer for many years at this point. It was great that this was in stock and I was able to quickly get in and get it. Easy to use, just plug in and Windows had it set up and ready to go in seconds. Works every bit as well as a "regular" built in drive. Has come in hand a few more times since purchase.
