External CD Drive，DLIUZ USB 2.0 Portable Slim External Drive, CD/DVD-RW Drive, CD-RW Rewriter Burner For High Speed Data Transfer for Laptop Notebook PC Desktop Computer (2.0Black)

We don't have much need for CD/DVD features these days, but when I need one, I need it. Some of the lighter computers no longer even include the feature, which can be great for traveling. This unit satisfies the occasional need, and other than that can be stored. For this occasional use, drive speed isn't much of an issue, and I've used mine successfully a dozen or so times with different computers. Good unit for this, and a great price.

it works... loud as hell but... for the price... whatever. the cheesy extra power adapter usb thing is weird...

This product is crap. Don't buy it. It shipped with a UK wall plug. Does not work without external power. No drivers provided, and did get recognized by Windows to allow it to connect with a generic driver. Was not seen at all. Useless. A waste of money and time. Spend a little more and buy from a real company.

It quacks like a duck, it walks like a duck. Works w/my Mac book & PC laptops. So far just fine, :-)

Does not work with cds

Works great! My piece of junk laptop no longer has sound and needs a speaker attached to it to hear anything and it no longer plays movies because, well I tried to fix it and my husband says that is what broke it but I think it was broke before that when the screw fell out of the back and thats when it lost sound... that is what I was fixing but couldn't... anyway yep now it plays dvds again yippie! Little Mermaid and Lord of the rings here I come!

I am very very pleased with the quality and price of this product. It is extremely sturdy and well built. Shame it isn't for sale anymore... Update: After 3 years (2017-2020, preemptive RIP), the drive is on crutches. It shuts down when attempting to burn media, CD ROM reading is fine, and it seems to have issues tracking DVDs and runs at the miniumum read speed. Sounds like it is struggling and it is not clear what is going bad. Keeping review at 5 stars, this thing is built substantially well, and for <18 dollars you can't do any better. Got my money's worth. Got a newer LG burner and it feels chinsy in comparison. I would buy 3 more of these immediately if they were still available.

So for the low price I really wanted to believe that this was going to work. I got one CD to burn that will actually play in a CD player. Three of them were simply ruined and will not play. the rest of them it would not even acknowledge there was a CD in it. Don't waste your time you will end up having to return it.
