Product works fine. It is somewhat cheap, the way it closes seems worrisome. But that is on par for these external cd players. It does play CDs, rips CDs and DVDs. Their price was low enough and in line with all the others on Amazon.

So far it works great. Simple to use. Just plugged it into my laptop and I was in business. Worked well.

This product was affordable and it functions well for writing and reading DVD's

the external cde drive connected easily, worked great for ripping cds onto my laptop, but then it quit working. I kept getting the code "unable to rip cd" from every cd I tried. So I restarted my computer and it then began to work again. Hope it works next time?

Works great- love plug and play!

I run Ubuntu and this drive has worked perfectly as both a player and a burner for CD's so far. More info. below.I'm only going to give 4 stars for now because I just got the drive and I haven't tested it thoroughly. The review may go up or down with time. For example, I've only tried CD's so far, not DVD's yet.I don't know why the advertisement would say that it works on linux, but that it doesn't work on Ubuntu. Typically, Ubuntu is one of the most "It just works" distros out there.For example, I run Ubuntu because I have an Nvidia graphics card and Arch doesn't play nice with nvidia, especially if you want to run the proprietary Nvidia drivers, which I did because nouveau is not nearly as good as proprietary with my card.
