    It seemed nice. I bought it to use on my Sufrace Pro 3 and it would not work. I had to buy a different one. I would only recommended buying this if you do not have a tablet.

    I would give this drive a 5 star rating if it came with the proper cable. It requires a USB-Y cable, which is readily available on Amazon, but not available at Best Buy.

    It does the job a bit loud sometimes especially when burning Discs. Good for those that don't have DVD Drives in their system.

    I needed a DVD reader for my notebook so that I could view some courses on DVD and load some Rosetta Stone courses. This DVD reader loaded very easily, but when I tried to play one of the coursework DVDs, I got a message that the software needed to be upgraded to read that type of file; the new software at about another $40. I took this item back. I now have a similar DVD reader from Dell that works great.

    This a very good DVD player the reason is it allows you to play all DVD's and not all DVD players play RW and DVD. You will be very happy you chose this player.

    Nice little drive. Portable and does as described. Most new computers these days do not have CD drives, so this makes a nice addition. I carry this in my backpack and use it with my MacBook pro. No issues, and works when i need it to. It feels like it will not be durable, and break, but its held up well with all the other stuff I carry.

    I have now used this a few times and it seems to work ok. On my old computer the disk drive was built in (and had stopped working) so maybe an external drive is better???

    My new laptop is wonderful but like many new laptops, it doesn't have an internal DVD port. I bought the LG DVD Writer to accomplish this. It works great!
