Good Price. Does what it needs to.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It feels a little cheap. But for the money I guess its a pretty good value. Not like you need to always have it out. But it reads the disk fairly quickly and havnt had any issues with it.

I would recommend this to a friendIt does the job
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed a DVD writer/player because neither my laptop nor desktop computer have one. This one serves the purpose and the price was right. Would prefer that the disc would load and eject without the tray ejecting as well, but it wasn't a deal breaker for me.
I would recommend this to a friendDVD player for laptop and TV
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a DVD player that I could use for my laptop and TV. However, I have an older model TV and it does not have a USB plug-in so I am only able to use it for my laptop. It does work great with the laptop, but I did have to buy another DVD player for my TV.

I would recommend this to a friendUnbelievably thin
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for future use connected to two laptops that don't have a CD/DVD drive. I have not use it yet so can't give it much of a review other than to say it is incredibly thin. I've given it only three stars because I haven't used it yet.

CD/DVD Player
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works, but is slow to load files from DVD. Have not tried to use to watch movies so cannot comment on that. I just had a number of files backed up to DVD that I wanted to be able to pull up if I needed them.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendWorks fine - just seems like it's fragile
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works, no issue, but did seem very fragile upon use. Popping the tray out, feels like it wouldn't take much pressure to break it into 2 pieces at that point. Does what it's suppose to, and looks low profile. Little pricey for what it is.

Does what its supposed to, too expensive though
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its a good disc reader, i got it to reinstall windows on my PC. 40$ is a bit too much for a simple reader, it doesn’t even read blu rays. I was in a pinch and needed it. Would recommend getting something cheaper.
