Very pleased with unit. It is not as big as I thought it would be. Slightly noisy but that's not a problem. no problems setting up and the 25 dollar gift card for the movie downloads was a nice bonus I would recommend this unit. this is my 3rd. external burner that I have. nice piece of equipment.

This seems to be a nice external DVD drive. It's a bit larger than I imagined but very solidly built. I don't really think much of the Roxio software. I've tried using the Sonic software (also a Roxio product) that came with my laptop and it seems to work better than the basic version of Creator 10 that came with the drive. But burning is not what I really bought this drive for....

I actually bought it as a player for European DVDs. A computer-based DVD drive can have its region code reset a limited number of times. I've set this one to Region 2 and am happily watching European DVDs. Of course the internal drive in my laptop does that too, but it's very thin and sometimes scratches a disc. Considering the cost of European DVDs, and the postage to get them across The Pond, I wanted a drive with headroom.

Oh yes, I can also connect my laptop to my flat-screen TV with an HD15 cable and watch those DVDs on the big screen.
