    Needed one for my nephew’s new laptop,since the newer once doesn’t come with a dvd drive. Hope it works well. Not a bad price. I gave 5stars. Test drive worked fine. Hope it lasts long.

    I was surprised at the advancement made in the external drives as I haven't bought one in years. I was impressed as how small and lightweight the drive is making it so easy to bring along and store.

    This is a must have for the times when you need to read a CD or DVD, since most current computers are not equipped with that drive.

    I still have a desire to own physical data like music. Since iTunes messes with my songs, I own the original cd to play in the car. Since my laptops are now lacking a dvd writer/player, I want to play said discs on them on occasion. The speed is quite impressive! I haven’t had any issues so far. I really got this as the price is too good to pass up [sic]! I am going to explore the dual-layer capability soon!

    We had an issue with our laptop DVD drive and it abruptly stopped working. We were thinking about going to a repair shop and getting it repaired. But then we found this portable drive on the website. Instead of getting the drive replaced, we opted for buying the portable DVD drive. It costs about 30 dollars. You install the driver and you are in business. We do a lot of DVD watching on our laptop and this works just fine so far. we play something on it every day. IF you dont mind having this thing outside of your laptop, then as a product it works great. We have not tried the DVD recording feature yet.
