## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP Working Great
*by D***. on August 3, 2023*

My CD drive in my desktop died so I bought this to replace it and with the convenience of “plug and play” it was up and running like a dream in no time. It is a very good quality drive and I would recommend it to anyone

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It is easier to use than the first one that I had, 10 years ago.
*by M***N on September 16, 2023*

I couldn't believe how easy it was to use. Didn't need a user manual, instructions popped up on the screen.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality CD Drive
*by B***G on June 30, 2023*

Not a technical expert, but this drive worked right out of the box. Highly recommend. You can purchase this item with confidence. Used it with Windows 11
