    Writes faster than I expected for an external usb writer. The software that came with it is pretty good also.

    Installed the free driver, and was not able to play commercially produced DVD. Was told incompatible format. There is a $20 premier driver you can buy which probably enables this. But this accessory is worthless to us as of now, and we will need to spend $20 more to make it functional. So much for the " great deal" for buying it with my new PC.

    I'm really disturbed that this is recommended as a product to buy if you want to watch DVDs on a laptop. It's not plug and play and the CD included is useless because you have to buy/download drivers. It would be better to just hit yourself over the head with it in hopes of hallucinating the movie you are trying to watch. Worst product ever!!

    Since the laptop did not have a DVD reader, this comes in handy in saving or downloading files.
