    I didn't know that laptops are now not being made with a cd-drive, so I had to purchase one. So far it is doing good.

    Works perfectly. Good buy. It's a little noisy, but no more than an internal drive.

    The price you pay for upgrading to my new, thin HP 2x1 computer. Just a necessary evil and need to make sure I get full function from the new Laptop

    Works as expected but the usb cord is very short, makes it difficult to keep plugged in.

    Does what it is supposed to do. Has sort of a cheap feel, probably because it is so lightweight. But it works fine.

    I haven't had any issues with this equipment, but it does feel quite flimsy and fragile, so I am careful not to carry it with me too much.

    I was surprised at how thin the unit is. But I guess you can locate it around other equipment. Cord could have had about 3 more feet of length.
