    I have yet to use this unit as a burner, but I've used it now on two different laptops and it works great as a reader of both data and movies. A fine product for the price.

    My new MacBook Pro does not have an internal disk so I purchased this item in order to do my taxes with Turbo Tax. A great compliment to any computer without internal disk.

    Nowadays most laptops and notebooks don't have a dvd drive. I needed to install software that I had the cds for. This worked perfectly. Plug and play and ready to work.

    Nice and slim and not at all in the way. Burns pretty quickly. Feels a little cheap, because of the plastic housing, but haven't had any problems with wear.

    I have an ultra book so it doesn't have a cd or dvd drive. I bought this after I got the blue screen of death so I could reload windows. Product worked as I needed it to.

    A little bit difficult to open up but otherwise functional and inexpensive. I don't use a lot of DVDs or CDs so I didn't want to spend a lot on such a drive.

    This product does what it is supposed to. I have no problem with it except it's a little louder than I'd like. Other than that it's great. I would recommend!

    Given the fact that the Envy 360 does not provide a drive, this allows me to add software and to access data that I have on a CRW disc. Excellent tool at a fair price.

    We bought this to work with a tablet but it didn't do well. We had to purchase a separate Y-power cord and it still would not work with the tablet. This is not a good product to use with a tablet.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
