    I purchased this because my laptop didn't have a dvd drive. It works perfectly fine and didn't see anything different from an already installed drive.

    Runs quietly when playing a movie. Good quality, and the price was right. Looking forward to being able to upgrade to a Blu-ray drive in near future.

    I bought this looking for something to play DVDs on as I'm on the road or at the gym for P90x. It's great compact size allows just that with ease of use.

    Needed this since I bought a laptop with no optical drive. Just used it to load some old software so far. It's slow and a little noisy, but gets the job done. Cheapest one Best Buy sold at the time, that's what you get. I would recommend to a friend if they want just a minimal drive to load software, burn a CD or back up files to CD (does anyone do that anymore?)

    Now days, most things you can either download or put on a flash drive to transfer. Nice to have in a pinch and easy to store. Plug and play as well.

    I haven't used this item very much yet because it requires downloading a software to the computer you need to use it on. The computer I need to back up is old and having problems and won't stay on long enough for me to install the software and move items to the external drive. This makes the drive almost useless to me. I don't know if this is how all external drives work, so although I'm disappointed, it may just be my lack of knowledge letting me down.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
