  • Easy to use, worked so well, quality product...
Style: star-color
This thing is a total lifesaver if you're super cheap like me and still have old DVD's of programs that they now charge monthly fees for. I had to upgrade my laptop and after reviewing the prices QB and Office now charge monthly I decided to dig out my old DVD's and give this thing a go (especially since there really is nothing new about the recent versions that the older ones don't have). Well, this thing worked like magic with not one issue. Plugged it in and just went. I was able to put Quickbooks, Office, Jasc Paint and full Adobe Photoshop and Image Ready from CD's. I also have an older car that still plays CD's so I am going to continue to burn from iTunes. I haven't tried it with this yet, but will update when I do. Would definitely recommend. So glad I found this and crazy easy to use. ... show more

  • Appearances can be deceiving
Style: star-color
Seems cheaply made but it works great. I plugged it into my Mac and it started right up. Cord length could be a bit longer but not necessary. Easy to use, no installation. Only key point to know is if you’d like to eject your dvd….you need to drag the dvd icon to the trash (on your mac)

I just wanted to have a DVD drive for my laptop as it didn't come with one. Works great so far. Sounds good..Price was good. Now I can go through my pictures on CD's and some movies that I have.

  • Plug in and watch!

So far so good several times plugging the USB C unit into our MacBook Air w/latest OS. Smooth and easy disk eject too. Works as stated and stores easily in carrying case for computer.

Worked perfectly and so simple. I opened the box, plugged it in to my laptop, and away I went looking at old files I needed! It is awesome!

  • Easy and great
Style: star-color
Now that laptops no longer have a CD drive, one has to purchase an external drive. This had great reviews and so I purchased it. I am one who reads reviews on all products prior to making a choice. This plugs in with a USB C connection and then it’s a zip to play discs or download music CDs. The cable length is fairly short so you ah e to keep it close to your laptop but I don’t see that as a negative. ... show more
