That's three stars plus an extra star for a great price.
The price is great, I think the burning process was maybe a little on the slow side, but I have it plugged into a 4 port USB extension, not directly into a USB port on the computer
Works as advertised - very nice optical drive at a great price.
Its a good price and a reliable external player for all needs.
Great CD/DVD burner compatible with Apple products at a much better price than a burner from Apple themselves.
Great item for those devices that don't have a CD/DVD drive.
Haven't had it long so can't speak for longevity but the reason I didn't award 5 stars is that this item looks extremely fragile so I have to handle it so carefully.
This item worked well for 4 months and now it won't play any cd that I insert.
I would not purchase this item (or recommend it to a friend) if I had known that the software was only good for 30 days.
As people have pointed out it is cheap but the quality is poor.
(For the Surface Pro, one branch of the Y goes into the USB port on the power cord brick, the other into the USB port on the computer itself.)Speed and quality burning/
I played a DVD just for testing purposes, and it worked as if it were built-in.
Pretty good quality optical drive for those rare times you need to use a CD
The quality was good for all three brands tested, Verbatim, MBI and Memorex.(The link to the CDRLabs review is given in the first comment to this review--Amazon removes links from reviews but not comments.)AV modeThis drive offers an AV mode that allows it to be used with Android devices (see note above) and audiovisual devices like TVs that have USB ports
Overall, I think this a very good product, certainly worth the price.
Thank you so much for the fast delivery and great product!
I understand that sometimes products are defective and need to be sent back, but I would not buy anything from this company again since they don't warranty their products.
This product was very difficult to get started to use, especially since I am not a "techie".
Great product, I would purchase from this vendor again.
No response, no LED light like it says in the instructions...when I pushed eject like the instructions said to, a noise, like something spinning and clicking...but no door opening
The noise is not very loud when burning media and proabbly is due to the very slim case that cannot keep it inside when spinning the media
Worked great, did what I needed and didn't make loud noises

Having traveled with it frequently (in a neoprene case), ripped my collection of several hundred CD's, and burned a few CDs and DVDs as well, durability is not a concern
