The USB drive worked fine. However, when I opened the drive it contained a CD. Like a pearl held within an oyster. It appears to be a music mix CD of 'Lori's top 102 R/R Songs'. Not 99. Not 100. 102! Well I figured somebody's kid sister filled it with Taylor Swift Girl Power songs. Maybe rap perhaps. One doesn't know. So I dropped my daughter off at University and on the ride home I played the CD because my ancient 2013 Ford Fusion actually came with a DVD drive. MY GOD! It's primarily an 80's music CD with some 70'S stuff tossed in there. As a child of the 80's myself I almost cried. It started with Aerosmith 'Sweet Emotion' and 'Walk this Way'. Segued to 'Heat of the Moment' followed by 'White Wedding' by Billy Idol. Lori goes hard. I haven't had a chance to experience all 102 songs but there's also some Elvis Presley and The Doors 'People are Strange' which is on the nose for this era in America. It's not a perfect canon. In the middle of several Eagles songs she injected Cold Play, right out of the blue, which nearly provoked me to lose control of the automobile. Still, it's enough to say that Lori is a magnificent human being. This CD is more valuable than the enclosing USB drive which will only be used on rare occasions. I'll play this CD far more often So sure. Buy DVD drives from this guy Read more
Seems to be a good unit so far. I purchased this to RIP DVD;s, have not tried as a Burner yet, and not sure that I will. This is a very high quality unit that seems to be sufficiently fast and is very compatible and easy to use. Has Standard storage of any CD or DVD, so the storage is the same. Unit functions well in Burning as well as Play Back. No Compatibility issues and I have not tried the playback issues yet! Read more
So far it works well to download files but seems slow and stops if you try to download a whole DVD. If you download a only a few folders at a time, it is very fast. I have not yet tried to burn any CDs or DVDs, but I'm hopeful. A longer cable to connect the drive to the desktop would be useful. Having cable storage is nice for transportation with my laptop .

So happy I purchased this external CD drive. It was easy to use and found the photo I was searching for. Photo loading sped depends on size of photo. Read more
I do not recommend purchasing from this company I caution. I purchased this machine to burn a cd and have an external cd DVD drive. I tried every which way to get it to work. It will not register on my Mac. I called Amazon who put me in touch with the company through email as they did not leave a Number to be reached at. From now on I am never buying again from a company that doesn’t have a number to be reached at for Customer Service right off the bat. And I don’t think that Amazon should be dealing with companies like this it’s a pain in the neck and it doesn’t work so not a good look for Amazon either. The company themselves through the email scheduled a time and date to meet with me of their choosing. Apple said they would call me afterwards to check How it went. They did not so far as I can tell. I did get a letter from the company making suggestions as to how I could make it work. But in the letter they also said, if you need any other help please contact us, as if they had never made the appointment with me. I wrote back saying I hope you will keep your appointment with me as I will try these things but I imagine I will need the help. I tried what they suggested and sure enough it did not help. One of the plugs is just for Power. The other plug is the one to plug into my computer directly. The machine does not turn on without the power plug being plugged in. However their recommendation was that I plug in the cord to the computer first as the computer would not register the CD DVD player unless I did that first. It seemed counterintuitive since there is not enough power for the machine to turn on … why would it be able to register on my computer if it’s not even on. Nonetheless I tried it that way and it still did not work even when I plugged the cord from the external cd DVD drive into my computer first and then plugged the power cord into the wall. It just would not register onto my computer. Which of course makes sense since it didn’t even turn on that way. The only way it turns on it with the power cord which does nothing but turn on the power. It will not suffice even if I connect the other cord once the power is on, To my computer. My computer just simply does not recognize this machine. Do not buy to use on a Mac at least as it will not work. Read more
