          Only thing I dont like about it is that you have to plug in 2 usb cords one to power it and one to transfer the info.

            I bought this for my netbook. I needed to install additional software and to transfer photos. It works great and am very satisfied with the performance.

            I am a musical person, so when I ordered my new laptop I was disappointed to see that it didn't come with a cd drive. So I looked up reliable and effective cd drives and this is what I came up with. It's well worth the price and extremely portable. I've had it for a couple weeks now, and so far so good. The delivery was quick and paying for it online was hassle-free!

                  I bought this external drive for my macbook air and it works fine with it.
                  It looks a little bit cheap but for the prize it's perfect.
