    Because my new laptop did not have a CD drive, I purchased this one based on price and other reviews. Was immediately recognized and added programs from a CD almost immediately.

    Who uses CDs anymore? Whoever owns one of these bad boys! That’s who! Plays dvds, reads really well, and doesnt make much noise. Cannot complain.

    My laptop did not come with a CD drive. I burn a lot of homemade movies and needed one. This fits perfectly in my laptop bag and works seemlessly with my laptop.

    I bought a laptop and realized it did not have a disc drive. I had bought a tax program and realized there was no way to install it with out s disc drive. I ran into Best Buy. The sales person suggested this model. It was easy to install and use .

    Computer I bought was an all-in-one, so it didn't have a CD/DVD drive. I guess I'm old school, still using CDs & DVDs, but this added item took care of that issue.
