    This is average quality

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

    I got this portable DVD/CD drive to install software on a new tablet. Unfortunately the cable did not fit with the Insignia cable adapter to accommodate the type C port in the tablet. However, I used it with my computer. It worked all right, no problem. The reason I gave it average quality rating is because it is a flimsy plastic case. It's light weight, which is nice, but I'm concerned that it will break easily. All in all, it's ok, just flimsy construction. Maybe that is what you get for a price of $35.

    The drive easily connects with usb/plug and play in seconds. It is very portable, quiet and has a solid drawer moreso then any laptops I've ever used. Highly recommend this product.

    Works but it is noisy and a bit slow

    This was recommended by associate as a cheaper alternative to the apple plug and play. I had a bit of trouble installing the software, but eventually got it working. You can hear the disc turning which is a bit annoying not sure if that is typical for an external drive as I have no other experience. Also compared to a built in drive it is a bit slower to load the content.
