    I purchased this product for my Dell laptop and it has worked like it's supposed to. I've played several DVDs on there and have had no issues.

    Many new desktops don't come with CDs or DVDs. This product is a great solution. It's small and lightweight, and it reads and writes quickly.

    Economical and easy. Works well right out of the box. Good plug in when you have no internal cd/DVD. I burned on fresh formatted discs easily.

    This might not be the best choice for a windows8.1 installation. It refuses to auto launch a Video DVD and did not come with decent software.

    Wish laptops still came with the CD/DVD drive - kind of pain to have it separate.But if it has to be separate - this seems to get the job done.
