    Bought this external disk drive after my laptop's disk drive broke. It was going to cost a lot more to fix the laptop and I rarely use the disk drive anyway. It works exactly as expected and was inexpensive.

    Works well for my "man cave". With CD's going away quickly, this is a good way to be able to access them when you need to. Just plug it in and go. It can be stored elsewhere when not needed.

    Love the product!!!! I bought a computer without a cd/DVD player and really needed one. I went back to Best Buy, where I bought the computer, and they showed me exactly what I was looking for.

    Since most computers don't come with cd drives in them anymore, we were trying to find a good drive with good value. This one fit the bill! Performs as it should and it is small so it can fit in my purse!

    Works great! Easy plug and play. Have had no problems with it. This portable drive works really well for burning/playing Audio CD's. What I love most is that it's slim and portable!

    I was going to buy the LG burner that was a little more expensive, but after checking the specs online, this one was exactly the same and was $10 cheaper. Works for what I need it for and it's super light!

    My DVD Rw unit is compatible and functional with my Lenovo computer. THe only thing you need to be aware of is that you may have to download 3rd party software to utilize the optical drive.

    this external drive was just what I needed to reboot and restore my HP mini to working condition. This product was also great for copying other files from one computer and transferring to another computer.

    I needed an economical (read cheap) DVD player for my work PC, but I didn't want it to fall apart after a month on the job. So far this unit fits the bill. I'm happy with it.

    Bought a new laptop that has no CD drive - really didn't think I needed it. Was wanting to use an old game I had on CD so got this so I could play it. Works as expected - couldn't ask for anything more.

    We ordered a laptop online but didn't realize it didn't have a disk drive, we searched and found this, it works great and all you have to do is plug it into the USB port, no install needed.

    The new HP laptop I purchased didn't have a DVD. I asked the folks at Best Buy for a unit that would attach easily. They recommended the LG Ultra Slim. The set up was very easy and I use it regularly.

    I have an abundance of old discs that I need to read and store. My 2010 MacBook Pro's disc drive died and I'm not willing to give up the laptop...just yet. This is an inexpensive stop-gap.

    You will definitely need to buy this to be able to make backup copies of files or watch dvds as now most laptops come without disc drives. Best feature is that it is lightweight and portable

    This was a discounted item when bought with our Dell laptop. Plug and Play....did try the software that came with it, not worth the trouble and not needed. It's a decent deal for the discounted price.
