Very slim Easy setup Good software suite

worked out of the box easy enough without having to download any drivers. Is not rated to work on linux but it did just fine and so far I haven't gotten any issues with it so am satisfied

Detected by computer right away and auto setup to use it. Price was great.


Some Pros: - Works great with laptop 12.7mm DVD drives! - Slick design! - Easy plug and play! No drivers/add-ons needed! - Good price!

I was very happy to see that the product description, was very accurate. I needed a player that could play various types of files, especially DVD-RAM discs. This little drive is capable of a lot of different video types. This is another item that I purchased from Newegg. That is of good quality, at a great price, and delivered in record time for the least costly shipping rate. :-)

It will play DVDs and Blu-Rays. Get VLC or another software. Make sure you also research how to add the dll and other file to get VLC to play Blu-Ray. Also, make sure the settings is for region A if you are in the U.S.A.



Been waiting to buy an external DVD writer for some time and finally saw this deal for a Hamilton after rebate. Only burned several DVDs to this point, but no coasters as of yet. Quick enough and like the look (despite the glossy finish - see below) if that means anything. Convenience is #1 pro as I could use it on the laptops or trusty old desktop at a moment's notice.

Works well, pretty fast.



works great. Beautiful sleek design


-Extremely lightweight -Easy to set up -Burns at a faster speed than my previous drive


I have bought many of these units. They have always worked excellently and have caused me no issues ever!


- Plug and play - USB C - Software is optional on CD. Will work without it.
