    I brought this product to install Turbo tax and it worked fine. If you don't need to install anything else just bring it back - there is no restocking fee.

    It works fine. But I pushed the eject button and when I put the new movie in it wouldn't stay closed. I'll just get another one because I did like it for what it was.

    This is about as simple as it gets and reads dvds and cds pretty fast, and plays them with ease. Great addition to any laptop that does not come with any DVD drive.

    I got this with my new laptop because I wanted to be able to use a disc drive when necessary and the laptop didn't have one. This is very basic and will work, but doesn't play Blu Ray discs.

    Works great, nice to have. However, I haven't found a need for it yet. Got a great deal on it, so I picked it up just in case. I predict I might only use it once or twice in a whole year.

    I was scared this would be hard to use but I plugged it in and it installed itself. I was happy to find out after that I can use this as a DVD player with my tv.

    I gave this item 3 stars because I have to keep unplugging the USB cord and plugging it back in in order to eject the DVD once I am done watching the DVD. I guess you get what you pay for.

    A bit flimsy, but plays movies nice after download because the software does not provide for watching dvd's. Have had no problem with it at all. Nice slim design.
