This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Inexpensive, easy to install, simple to use. Works all right.
Cons: Seems to have some trouble reading from copy-protected discs. Some of my games must be played from my other cd/dvd drive.
Other Thoughts: If all you want is a cheap cd-rom drive, this is great choice. If you want something more capable and/or reliable, you should look somewhere else.
