The Geek Squad was very helpful figuring out the problem. Sales person did not mention that software needed to be installed first before the product would work sufficiently.

Must have for my new laptop, and most new laptops on the market, as they are streamlining them. Plugs in and connects right away. Small and fits into the corner of my backpack if needed.

This is a great External USB Dvd±rw/CD-RW Drive for the price. It works well so far and is very nice and slim. Recommend for anyone who has a laptop without a CD-RW Drive.

The 2 in 1 I purchased did not have a built in DVD. I bought this one at the recommendation of the sales person. It plugged right in and worked. I didn't even have to use the manual.

I bought it because it was the only one they had. I have bought others before for less money and they did not work. This WORKS so I'm very happy. Did not need as many cables as some.

This inexpensive external unit does what is required, and I did not detect any problem during use of it. Recommended if you don't have an optical drive in your computer and need one.

All in all this device does its job and for the price who can complain. The extra noise isn't so bad so long as you are not working in class or at the library.

Works perfectly with my Surface Pro. I know that I can count on help to find just what I need with the help at Best Buy. I got what I needed not what was more expensive.

I purchased this to replace an external drive that froze after less than 3 years and the saved info on it was irretrievable. Hoping this does not happen again. But so far, all is well

Same capacity as other products on the shelves at best buy but a better buy than the other products. The design and product value was my incentive to purchase.

We recently bought a Dell laptop that did not have a CD/DVD drive, and we needed something in order to install new software. This item has worked great for what we needed.
