    Works well exactly a described. Plugged it into my computer and it worked well playing and burning CDs. I bought it as a back-up in case I needed it for my next laptop which probably won't have a DVD/CD drive.

    Products like these are a great alternative to a DVD player, especially when you have a monitor with a PC rather than a TV. Does it's job incredibly exceptionally.

    I was hesitant to use a disc player because my computer usually came with one but I took a chance and it was very easy to use. Glad for this purchase

    Super easy to setup, just plug in USB cable and within seconds you will be able to watch dvd/cd's. With appropriate burning software, you will be able to rip files/audio/movies/etc.

    Works pretty good. It's a little sluggish with my M1 macbook pro, but it still gets the job done.It was also completely plug and play with a usb-c adapter.

    I was really pleased with this when I first got it. I bought a new laptop not realizing that this is not built into most laptops anymore for some reason. But this was an easy solution. I am rebuilding my music library. So it does involve me using it quite a bit because of all the cds. I have, so burning and ripping a lot of cds. I bought this on december 19th 2023 and noticed, it was not working properly Feb 22nd 2024. So I got a good 2 months of usage. I mean, I was using it quite a bit so I don't know if that's why it stopped working but regardless kind of sucks. And of course, it's past the 30 days so I can't return/exchange it. They're pretty inexpensive so I can just get another but still...

    I was using an old DVD drive out of a pc that required me to get out the Sata / IDE Hard drive adapter. This is so much easier as you just need to plug it into your USB. Love it!

    I really like that it only takes 2 minutes to burn 7 songs in wav files. It sounds great and works amazing! Glad I got it for $24.99 instead of $39.99. I love my savings! Thank you Best Buy!

    Many new products no longer come with cd/dvd drives. I bought 4 of these at an awesome price. They seem to work well and if they break for some reason they are easily and inexpensively replaced. A no brainer.
