Review: WORKS AS IT SHOULD - If I could have gone down half a star to four and a half I would have. At first the drive did not show up on my laptop, but as soon as I inserted a CD it did. After looking around for CD ripping programs I settled on one and have ripped well over 30 so far (out of 3,000+!!!!). Some CD special editions even have extra discs that are video/DVD and I have managed to rip these too. I cannot comment on its burning capabilies as I haven't used this facility, and doubt I ever will frankly. So far it is performing well. I occassionally get error messages about importing certain tracks, but that's probably down to the discs rather than this unit, and as far as I can tell, the tracks ripped anyway. My only gripe? In the days when I had a desktop computers with CD/DVD drives in the tower they were fairly sturdy. Laptop CD drives years ago were always flimsy so I expected this to be a bit sturdier, but when the tray is ejected, it does feel very flimsy and I wonder how long it will last with all the ripping I have to do in the future, hence the half point deduction I would like to have given. Overall though, (so far) a very competent piece of kit.
