Customer Reviews

Great way to add a DVD burner w/o any high expense, and don't need to open the system unit.5
I bought this for my own desktop (DELL) which had only a CD-ROM and no DVD nor burner. I love this unit and now I recommend it to those who have me install their new PCs. Everyone so far is far more than satisfied with this excellent bargain.

What a buy!5
Grandson loved the item and the ease of use. Item is working great for the amature movie maker!

Junk - Would not recommend buying this1
I purchased one of these refurb'd here (from Dealbarn) and it absolutely did not work right out of the box.
Not sure what is considered refurbishing, but my guess is this thing came in defective, and shipped out defective, as-is.
I have a Macbook and these are compatible, but the problem lies in the drive itself. Toast sees the drive perfectly, but it just flashes and spins endlessly, and the device pops in and out of 'consciousness' in Toast and on my machine.
Not much info is available anywhere (even on manufacture website) either.
My recommendation is to skip this and move on, spend 10 more dollars for something new that has a better chance of working.
