    Got it from Bestbuy for $18. Work as it is supposed to. Was afraid of it not being seen by win10. Just plug it in and load DVD and need for driver download/update. It is worth the price.

    Bought this for my new laptop that didn’t have a dvd/cd drive built in. This works fine for my needs. It does seem a bit slower than my previous built in writer on my old laptop. Overall it was a great deal.

    I added this external DVD to my laptop computer purchase because I have many legacy apps (programs) and thought it would be something I might need down the road. The price was discounted as an enticement with the laptop purchase so it made sense go with it. It is a good bang for the buck and comes with 'free' software that will be used if I need to burn DVDs as well as other functionality that I have not explored yet. I am happy with this purchase.

    Bought this DVD player because my new Dell laptop & other laptops no longer have an inside DVD player. I use it occasionally, mainly for health-related CD's & DVD's, & it works fine. A little tricky to get the slide to come out at first, but with repeated gentle pushing on the button, it eventually slides out. It's small, light, & doesn't take up much room on my coffee table, & I only use it when I need it.

    This is really a nice little external DVD-R drive that we got when we got the HP Spectre 2-in-1 Laptop. It's very useful. Runs quietly. Good way to make backups of things.

    Needed a way to read a DVD from a SFF PC. This was cheap and fit the bill. No drivers needed for MacOS or WIn10. Didn't hurt that it was on sale :)

    I bought this because my new laptop didn't come with a DVD/CD drive, like most nowadays. But I still have tons of CDs to read. This is fast and easy to use.

    Can’t beat the price for an external dvd writer when it’s on sale. Great to use with Chromebooks that don’t come with a built-in dvd writer.

    I've had this product for a couple years now plugged into two different consoles and it works great. It's recognized only for PS4 storage now that I have a PS5, but that's just fine for me right now.
