Great drive for the new Mac desktop since Apple no longer includes DVD or CD with the computer no longer.
I love the wood grain look of this external drive. It works flawlessly with my Macbook Pro which is what I needed it for. It's light and not too bulky, so it's easy to store in my travel bag. It's also quiet when burning a cd. I highly recommend this product.
I like the look and most important, it works exactly as described on my MacBook Air
Works Great. Made a lot of back ups Rewritable DVDs
At this point, external DVD drives are pretty much indistinguishable, brand-for-brand. This one caught my eye with its faux wood presentation. It's residing on the small, art deco bar in my man cave, cozy in its wooden appearance on my 1930s era bar cabinet.
Plugged it into my Win 10 Pro media box and it started playing my opera DVDs (Meistersinger, for those who care) without a hiccup. BTW, it has an older, sorta T-shaped USB port, but the product came with the USB 3.0 version of the necessary cable, so that was no issue.
Aside from the exterior aesthetic, the USB 3.0 was a final determining feature for me.
If your visual preferences are happy with black-on-black accessories (see the BBC HHGG, ep 5/6), you can probably find less expensive accessories.
Minor nit. The Chinese manufactures' marketing dept. should have consulted with a native UK-EN or US-EN speaker concerning the packaging. (I am still trying to decode "Do not put the machine on the vulnerable to foreign press in place, to ensure that the machine function." -- At least they got the nuance between ensure and insure right.)

The equipment works pretty good, the only thing that is missing is that it doesn't let you know what program to use with it. Other than that I'm please
So far - excellent! After ordering two CD/ DVD players/burners that stopped working after a few days, this device is wonderful! Before I had brief CD tracks that took over 10 minutes to copy - now that same track takes 10 SECONDS! For basically the same price point, this device is smooth, quiet, simple to set up, and appears to be superior in every way. Only uses one cable - saves electricity and is far more convenient.
Felt I should definitely add to this review.
AVOID PRODUCT - true, the appearance is cool, but the player stopped working shortly after I wrote this review - will not accept a CD or DVD at all - oh they get stuck - will not show up on desktop - will not eject (have to get them out with a bend paper clip) - completely worthless now - send it back and ordered by a brand, well-known company
AND the faux wood is really quite attractive. Always wanted the cool wood computer like Will Truman uses in his office on Will and Grace (if such a wood framed computer even exists - ands if it does is probably mucho expensive - but I digress) - this fast CD/DVD player/burner kinda brings the metal of my monitor and laptop together - whoever thought a DVD/ player could look so cool - ok (it might cost a few dollars more) but is really worth it. Will let you know if I have problems, but so far I could not be more pleased. The one negative is that the carrier lost the first order so I had to order again, but it was worth the wait! (cannot really rate tech support, but I gave it excellent because it is plug and play, and could not be any easier)
The drive was shipped promptly and well packaged. It worked well reading and writing CDs right out of the box when plugged into my MacBook Pro Retina (late 2012 vintage running on MacOS Mojave 10.14.4). However, it would not play commercial DVDs. I couldn't watch movies on it. It was frustrating. I emailed VersionTECH tech support, who were prompt in their reply. However, the suggestions were not that helpful (try another USB port, try another computer, etc.). After more futzing about, I got a message on my computer saying something like, "This drive is formatted for Europe. If you'd like to change regions, click here. You can change regions only [some limited number of] times." After clicking "change regions," the drive performs flawlessly. Unfortunately there's no way that I know of to tell what region the DVD drive is set up for and there were no instructions regarding how to get the screen up to change regions. But apart from that and once it's working, it's a great drive!
Even in the age of streaming videos, there's still a need for a CD/DVD reader/burner and this one does the job perfectly. It has a built-in USB cable that fits into the bottom of the unit and keeps it out of the way. The black finish is also welcome and gives it a unique look compared to the standard space gray color that most other drives come in.
