    My new laptop didn't come with an internal DVD drive, so I purchased this model to fill the void. I needed a DVD drive to install some software on my new laptop that was only available on CD. The drive worked well out of the box, and I appreciated that it came with a cord to connect it to the laptop. The drive is lightweight and relatively small, but I can't decide if that makes the unit feel "cheap." I don't have a lot of media on CD, so I likely won't be using it a lot. I MIGHT be concerned about durability if I were using this drive regularly.

    I recently purchased a computer online and didn't realize that it did not have an optical drive installed. I purchased this DVD burner for my son. It was plug and play ready. It serves its purpose well.

    I started volunteering at a local radio station and needed to be able to download CDs onto my laptop. This purchase was based on a recommendation from my friend who is an IT expert. It's very easy to use and I'm very happy with it.

    A lot of laptops don't include optical drives any more. This external drive is a necessary evil if you still want to use DVDs or CDs. Simple to use.
