    This needed to be hooked up at the store, but we were not told that when we bought it.

    Great gadget. Fragile, but it works perfectly with my Mac. Just plug it into a USB jack. That's it. Self-powered. Mac users do not need the software disk, which is just for Windows. The directions do not explain this clearly.

    Simple setup and works great. Surprised at another reviewer calling it big because it is barely bigger than a dvd case and is really light. Fairly quiet and does what it should.

    Simple to use - nice look and feel - and relatively inexpensive especially as compared to the Apple product. Reading the reviews helped me make this purchase.

    Great function and value

    The drive does everything I need it to in a small, compact package that fits easily in my travel bag. This lets me keep my small compact laptop without loosing functionality. I would recommend making sure it works before you really need it. This is my second purchase of the drive (one for home, one for work), but it didn't work out of the box. Fortunately, Best Buy has a good return policy and I was able to exchange for a working one without a problem.

    Does What I Need it to

    I decided to grab this external drive because it was on clearance and I still wanted to be able to burn and copy CD's. It works straight out of the box with my HP pavilion. There is no need to install the software that comes with it. Your computer should recognize the disc drive and be able to play CD's and burn new ones straight away.

    lightweight, does the job

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    this is a great little device. very lightweight, almost feels like you can break it but it is very sturdy. My only gripe is that ejecting a disc on mac also ejects the drive. It makes sense to do this, but it would be neat if you didn't have to unplug/re-plug in the device when using for more than one disc. Not enough of a complaint to drop a star, though!
