Excellent seller - responds promptly to email inquiries. I have been having difficulty finding an external CD player that works well with my older desktop. This product works like a dream, and at a very reasonable price. I can recommend it without reservation. Read more

Note: What follows is my original review, which remains unchanged. I need this drive to burn dual layer DVDs and blank/rewrite CD-RWs. Unfortunately, it has failed me on both fronts. (Using k3b on Linux.) The drive makes some strange noises, before reporting an I/O error. I leave a 1-star review for now because it can't do what I need, but I don't mean for this to unduly reflect on the brand. It's entirely possible that the drive was damaged during shipping; the actuator is certainly making some weird noises. Defective hardware is sometimes just a fact of life. If the manufacturer honors the warranty and replaces the drive with a functional one, I will gladly revise this review to 5 stars. Update: I reported the device as non-functional; the seller promptly dispatched a replacement drive. I received the new drive before I even mailed back the old one. The faulty drive I originally received did render several dollars worth of dual layer DVDs unusable due to aborted writes, but this is forgivable. I am now happily burning rewritable, as well as dual layer, discs with k3b on Linux Mint. I originally gave this product a 1 star review; however I realize that sometimes computer components break. What really matters is how the seller handles the situation. This seller did exactly what a consumer would want; for this reason I have revised my review to 5 stars. 100% satisfied customer!

Frustrating. Will not read last track. I have audio CDs with many (up to 26) short 2-3 minute tracks. The computer sees all 26 tracks but the last track will not play. Read more

Seems to be solid enough but it's a problem with my desktop Mac. It needs to be connected directly wit it but that MAC doesn't have any extra ports. When plugged into the strip where I have flash drives, the power lights go on but no action. Too bad. Read more
