Customer Ratings & Reviews

I still burn the occasional CD, so when I bought my new laptop sans CD read/writer I bought this as an external add-on. Readily recognized by the laptop; easy to use. It’s extremely lightweight and thin - makes it easy to carry/store in a laptop case. It is very plasticy - that’s what makes it so lightweight - but that’s also lends to it feeling cheap. It works; that’s the main thing.

Very easy to use as is. It does its job and makes very little noise. I use it for a laptop to install programs and burn CDs/DVDs. Just plug it in the USB port and it begins to run.

Bought this to use with new laptop that had no CD player. This plays both CD and DVD. True plug and play. Can also be plugged in to a TV with HDMI cable. Slim and easy to store. I would definitely buy this again.

Easy to install and installs any software fast. Just plug in via the USB on your laptop. If you want to watch DVDs install the software accompanied with the drive.

This external DVD/CD read/write drive is perfect for a modern computer. Nowadays DVDs/CDs seem to be going away. But this is a good cheap alternative to buying an internal drive for your pc. Best of all it can be easily unplugged and reinstalled in another computer if you have multiple computers. It's not the fastest read/write disc drive out there but it's fast enough. Setup and use is easy. Not really much to say it just works and its inexpensive.

This product seems to work just fine. My only concern was that a first accidentally bought an internal drive. The salesperson did not realize that the one I was going to buy was an internal drive and it was not clearly marked, Then I was told I had to physically go to the store where I had purchased it to return it. This was inconvenient as it was, but what if I had been out of town when Ipurchaased it.

I admit that a CD/DVD is old school these days, but I have a number of CDs and DVDs that I want access to, and I am not enamored with streaming. While I will likely use the write option very little, I still like having it available. The installation of this device was old school also, using a disc, and using the earlier version of Windows Media Player, but that is easy to use. No regrets.

The drive was exactly what I was looking for to use with my new laptop. I use it to watch DVD's I never quite got around to watching. It is great for use while I am traveling.

Runs like a charm, compact, and an excellent value.

Since laptops often come without optical drives this is a good solution to that problem. Even though much media exists online, optical media still exist. This drive is plug and play and works well.

Have had this for a couple months and use daily it several times for saving data and transferring it to other machines. Yes, it can be a bit noisy, but that's probably because the casing is not insulated to absorb sound. I'm not using it to watch DVDs/etc., so the noise does not matter for me. That's the only reason for a 4-star rating, otherwise, a very good product.

I absolutely love this DVD burner. It’s so easy to use and takes up barely any room at all. I love that I can carry it my laptop bag.

I bought this to burn CDs from my new computer, and when I tried to burn a DVD I found out it was not compatible with my DVDs (DVD-R). Luckily I have a DVD/Blu-ray external drive that is compatible. On me for not checking before buying, but since I bought it primarily for burning CDs, It's a wash.

Hey this thing really works good no drives on the new laptop for 20 bucks this is the answer. Fast easy to install

Works seamlessly with the all in one. Its a must have for the price too.

Works great and went well with the laptop recently purchased that did not have a DVD drive. Very easy to use and great value for the cost.

This disk drive is a good item that is easy to install and use.

Get this one. It does what it says on the box, plug and play. No setting up, no drivers to configure. In short this is how all accessory items SHOULD work.

Works great! Simple to use. Very lightweight, but I really liked the finish on this one! Would buy again!

Very easy to set up and use. takes up very little space.
