Bought this to install software on a Macbook Pro (without CD drive). Bought it on sale for $20 and was exactly what I needed. It looks nice on a desk too.

A good CD/DVD player/writer for use with a laptop. I use for data storage and the speed is quite acceptable. Haven't found any negatives after a months use.

Works great and runs pretty quiet. I have not tried burning any disks yet, I've only used it for watching movies and transferring files from cd to computer.

You have to purchase the software after 30 days or you can't use the DVD player at all. Don't buy.

It runs great on Windows 10, no issues. Even though the box doesn't say it's compatible to Windows 10 but it is.

Mainly got this because my laptop does not have a built in CD/DVD drive. So far, I haven't had any issues with discs not reading or writing.

Did not need to review other comments. The brand name recognition was good enough. Had no problem connecting them to my laptop. Sound quality is excellent.

I didn't think I needed to splurge on apple superdrive for my new iMac. The only thing is it's black and not silver. Otherwise, it plugs in and works.

When we hooked it up to our device it kept installing, reinstalling and uninstalling the same software that was for some reason necessary to read a disc in the drive. Instructions didn't indicate any of this would happen. I managed to get the files I needed, but instead of them showing up in a normal fashion I had to get the files through My Computer and extract them. Not in any specific order, either. they all just plopped onto my desktop. no bueno.

Installing is a bit challenging but after it is installed it makes things much more interesting- espically if you want to watch a dvd or play a game

Got this item so I could put all my CDs on my computer and then onto my phone. It is lightweight and reliable. I would strongly recommend this product.
