This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Very good for the price. Can play CD/DVD so it's great if you're like me and don't want to have 2 optical drives.

Cons: Mildy loud when playing CD games, but my case can easily hide the drives cover and that keeps things more quiet

Other Thoughts: Good deal if you want something that plays all your CD/DVD disks in one drive and is very reasonably priced.
