    Perfect for my needs, I have a laptop with no CD drive. I plugged it in ran the set a program and it worked right away. I now can burn CDs and also I can use it for TurboTax that I needed the drive for.

    Purchased this as my gaming laptop doesn't have a DVD drive at all. Plugged the drive in and windows 10 immediately recognized it and was ready for use. Loaded my game without any issues. Would buy again

    Needed an external hard drive for my laptop since it doesn't have an internal one. It's a great little external hard drive for the price that does the job. Highly recommend it.

    Small and efficient, this reader/writer does just what I needed. It's priced so it is a no brainer for any set of PC tools, and small enough to be used as a add on for driveless laptops.

    I needed the external DVD drive to use with my new MacBook Air which doesn't have an internal drive. I like to watch rented DVDs from the library so this was the perfect solution at the perfect price.

    Worked immediately without any issues. Have it available now to use with both of our computers. Now we will be able to play our DVD's. That option was lost when we got new computers without DVD drives.

    I just bought this in case I needed it but most things can be purchased from the Apple store but it is nice and very inexpensive. As the old cliché says I rather have it and need it than to need it and not have it.

    I bought this writer for business purposes and it has worked flawless and I will buy another one if the need arises as I do a lot of burning but not enough to warrant a commercial unit.

    LOUD, but gets the job done

    This external device feels very flimsy and it is airplane engine loud, but it gets the job done. I simply needed something for the few CDs/DVDs I still have with data, and for that it served its purpose. I wouldn't get this if you need to use it in an office or open space with lots of people. But for home use, before the kids' bedtime, you can certainly do a lot worse.
