I PURCHASED THIS BECAUSE I JUST PICKED UP THE MAC MINI 8GB WHICH DOESN'T HAVE A CD/DVD DRIVER IN IT SO BECAUSE I ALWAYS TRUST THE SAMSUNG NAME I DECIDED TO GIVE IT A TRY AND IT'S BEEN GREAT! YOU CAN'T BEAT IT FOR THE PRICE EITHER. VERY NICE BUY

I use this DVD for course presentations. The thing I like the most is that it is really fast. I can move from my presentation to the DVD and it starts up fast.

Comments about Samsung SE-SO84D Ultra-Slim External DVD Writer (White):
This was just what the doctor ordered for my new mac mini from which Apple
deleted the disc drive. Small footprint and reasonable price make this
the perfect add on for reading and burning everything except Blu-Ray.
No downside yet. A slick bargain for the price.

A nice, small and sleek DVD writer. Software was easy to install and use. Have used it on my new netbook and an old desktop with XP because my DVD drive is not working on it. Saved me paying to repair and old PC.
