Pros & Cons
Pros
This burner works well, makes a fair bit of noise when ripping dvds. The top is a neat circular textured pattern if for some reason you need to touch your external burner.

Great item especially for the price. Very pleased with this purchase. There are many less expensive brands but i suspect the quality of those may not be as good.

Highlights
Quality
This supplements very well and is very minimal in design.
Drive works great and have had no issues.

My new desktop i got didn’t come with an internal disk drive since it’s got a lovely glass case
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The usb cords it cones with are very short so if you want it placed somewhere a little more convenient you’ll want to get your own cording
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I appreciate that the cord is not hardwired to the player but connects through a port in the player as i find integrated cords are typically too short and seemed designed to fail
