Good cd/dvd reader and writer.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great for reading in cd's and dvd's...With cd or dvd in it the eject button doesn't work you have to open it by clicking the eject in Finder on the iMac took me a while to figure that out.

Great drive for laptops -
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this drive to go with a new Thinkad X11 Carbon to take advantage of the USB 3 ports. Really happy with it - only complaint is the dual USB connectors - 1 for power. Overall a great product.

Seems to do what it should

Made for apple?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a windows pc, and it works for my computer. Ive heard that its the software that is made for apple, but i had my own software for burning blu rays, so i went with the cheaper option

Great at burning, but be careful taking discs out
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The eject and door open mechanisms seem a bit rough. We sometimes have trouble getting the disc out. At one point, the door would not open, and we had to shut down, unplug everything and then plug it back in. That was sufficient to get it going again. We considered taking it back, but my spouse likes the burn functionality, and it's support of many formats. He uses it to store extremely high resolution audio files, in uncompressed audio formats. I would recommend this to a friend with the above caveats.

Good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great, no complaints about functional, but for the price, I feel the construction is flimsy and it is not quiet.

Great device with excellent storage.
