I’m supposed to fill out this box called “Review title” in no more than 150 characters - but I really don’t know what a Review title is.

Nothing to dislike about this product. Take it out of the box, attach it to your desktop (for me, MacMini) via the USB cable provided, plug it in with the power cord that comes with it, and voila … it works! I also highly recommend Adorama. I received this product around 36 hours after ordering it.

Just a pleasure photographer. Fully retired and love it.

Have not had much time to spare on the new External R/W Drive. I used it load my wireless printer and to load a Microsoft Word, 2007 program which I had one license left. It was simple to do with this fast drive.

Excellent for all your burning & playing needs

Since the demise of any the internal CD/DVD/Player/Burner in the Mac, I've been on the search to find a solid (fast) alternative...I've found it and couldn't be happier!! OWC never fails to deliver ????
