    I bought a PC with this that didn't have a DVD/CD drive, and it's just perfect! Compact and light, and does exactly what it supposed to do.

    It's a great little addition for a laptop that doesn't have a DVD or CD player or burner. It's one of the most lightweight ones I own.

    This unit is thin, that's the good part. It is a plastic case, so when tray opens its clumsy, and not as nice as if it were enclosed in a sturdier case, metal case. This unit makes a lot of loud, spinning noise for a long time, I almost thought it was broken, but realized that's the way it is. Eventually it quiets down, but it takes a long time!
