    The external drive really has helped me to minimize the weight of my laptop. When I need it, I plug it in rather than it being part of my laptop. It works great and was not expensive.

    I have used this to install programs from my collection such as Office and Photoshop. It was seamless in connecting. But my experience, as I cited above, is limited.

    The dvd broke on my laptop, and this was a great way to replace it without sending my laptop out for repair and the cost would have been much more than the cost of this product.

    This blu ray player is the perfect substitute for having to buy another cable box for an extra room. The quality of the picture is good and the wifi works very well.

    I needed an external DVD in order to fix my Lenovo Computer. They sent me CDs and I didn't have an external reader to load them. This served my purposes and it was inexpensive.

    This CD/DVD drive reads and writes CDs, which is why I bought it for my new iMac. I hope it is durable; it seems a little flimsy and cheap. A good buy for the price.

    For those computers that don't come with an optical drive like mine did, this drive works great. I use it on my Asus computer that's running Windows 10 and haven't had any issues.

    This is a writeable drive only. Will not play cd's/dvd's. Purchased as a writer for my all-in-one desktop. Would probably spend a little more next time for read/write drive.
