    I bought this to go with my HP Spectre 2-in-1 and have been very happy with it. I haven't yet tried to play any DVD's, but it has worked well reading backup disks.

    This product was inexpensive but did a great job of allowing me to watch DVDs on my new MacBook computer. The quality of the video playback was very good on this device.

    I hooked the drive to my desktop. I works perfectly. I'm using it instead of my desktop drive to save it. What I like mostly about it is that it uses only 1 USB slot.

    If you're looking for an external DVD/CD drive that works well and is priced right, I'd recommend this product. I've used it for about a month now without any issues.

    I bought this a few months ago and was a bit afraid it wouldn't work as good as the "original" brand for my MacBook Air but it works perfectly. Totally recommended it!

    Does what it needs to do and easily transfers between computers. I get new ones often so this makes booting from disks much easier.

    It may not be the fastest or most reliable external drive out there, but it's a good value for the user who still uses DVDs and CDs for backups and sharing files.

    I thought this would rip audio CDs a little faster than it does, but it is a good replacement for my glitchy internal DVD-RW drive. Worth the price!
