    This drive is very light weight and does the job. I would Purchase a protective case for it because it's so light weight but great for travel. Works like a charm.

    It's the cheapest dvd writer that Best Buy had and it works for both pc and Mac. Does what it's supposed to do what more could you ask for?

    I bought this because my all in one does not have a CD drive to be able to install a program. It worked okay for that, but not much else. I can't watch DVDs on it because it can't read them. It was the cheapest one I could find because I was in a pinch, so it did what I bought it for. I would say it was worth what I paid for it.

    The DVD writer is compact but too light. Requires both hands to open and close the tray. Otherwise, seems to be a good product..

    It works. For being inexpensive I like it but I expected it to allow me to watch DVD movies and it doesn't. Maybe it is capable but I got tired of trying to figure it out.
