    Does what it is supposed to do at a reasonable price. Nothing I would caution anyone about. Nothing to complain about. My "new" computer sadly did not come with a DVD. This fills that slot & does the job.

    Needed a new cd drive and would have had to order a specific one to fit my PC. Decided to go external and it was a good choice and good price. Put it up higher for easier access and works perfect.

    Costs a little more but worth it. Interacted well with 2 different computers. Ripped and copied CDs. Comes with software but i preferred using the CD/DVD software that i already had on one of my computers. I used the software with the second computer. The software has lots of extra functions which i have not used.

    Needed an external CD port since my new laptop didn’t have one, bought this one for my anatomy hw and it worked great. Compact so it was easy to take on the go. Compatible with my HP and current windows programming, even if the CD was ancient.

    With many laptops now not having a CD Drive installed, this is just what I need. Does not take up much space on my desk, so I leave it hooked up to my USB Hub in case I need to use it. Plug and play easy to use!
