    Great price and the product worked perfect. Just seemed a little flimsy. Afraid it may break so exchanged it for a stronger product.

    It works well and reads CDs and DVDs well! But, it requires extra software to play/watch DVDs.

    This slim line external hard drive provided the necessary ability to add storage capacity to a laptop w a very small hard drive. AND it provides enough space for back up too.

    Bought this for my Surface Pro 3. It doesn't work, not enough power from the Surface to recognize the drive. Had to buy a docking station for it to function. Not expecting that!

    Super easy to install and use almost instantly with my MacBook Air. Reads software quickly. Plays movies with decent quality. Very thin and lightweight, almost flimsy. Makes a lot of noise when loading. By third use it was sounding like a garbage disposal. I'll have to try and replace it under the warranty and see if the noises stop.

    The computer I recently purchased does not have an internal disc drive. This one is simple just plug in and the computer recognizes it and it works as if it was installed in the computer.

    To be perfectly honest, I haven't used it a great deal yet. But the install was pretty simple and it works as advertized. It is light weight and has no major glitches so far.

    We were surprised to discover my son's laptop did not have a drawer opening for disc insertion. Hence the need to purchase one.

    We use this external drive to play movies on a laptop that Windows 10 refuses to recognize the original DVD-ROM drive. It works the way it should and does what we want it to.
