Microsoft Surface Laptop 2 Dvd Drive

Great little DVD/CD Drive, I use it with a NUC 11Pro and Microsoft Surface Pro, works great and the attached cable you can't beat it and can't lose it!

I have used several types of laptop computers, but Microsoft Surface Pro 7 is more than I expected :)

I mainly use this drive to watch DVD movies on my laptop. It has performed flawlessly.

I bought this DVD Drive to go along with an ASUS ZenBook Pro UX501VW DS71T laptop which doesn't include an internal DVD drive. This DVD drive is barely the size of a DVD disk. It matches nicely with the laptop. It comes with a software disk and a USB splitter cable (you will need two USB ports available on your computer to use this drive). It is well constructed and functions beautifully. The included software is optional. This drive is plug and play, however, my laptop didn't come with Windows DVD Player software. No Problem... I downloaded a highly downloaded free DVD software suite and it works perfectly. It does what I bought it to do. It is not a blue-ray player though. If that is important to you, you'll need to pick another drive.

Microsoft surface pen is a great choice

I recently bought a new laptop, no dvd drive. No problem, just ad this external drive when I need one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this as an additional drive since my laptop had 2 M.2 nvme slots. It has been exceeding my expectations for space, performance, etc. A major plus was its ease of installation and configuration in Windows 10.

SSD's make a laptop with a hard drive appear much faster. Some desktops and laptops are fitted with an M.2 SSD that is too small to be practical. Since SSD prices have come down so much over the years, upgrades are economical. When upgrading a laptop, you clone the existing drive onto the new M.2 SSD inserted in this enclosure and swap the two. Or you add the new M.2 SSD into a previously unoccupied slot. This enclosure makes it possible. And in the rare case the drive cloning did not succeed, nothing is lost. An essential part of your computer toolkit.

Installed this as the master drive in a new entry level MSI gaming laptop that came with a 256MB M.2 SSD . I'm 60 years old and by no means a gamer. My games are flight simulators. And, being an old geek I prefer to see a hard drive in a box so to speak. The original M.2 drive is still in the laptop as a filing cabinet for my less used junk but I am very happy with the performance of this Crucial drive!

This is a very good gaming laptop. Everything worked out of the box. I added a second m.2 drive and the installation was a breeze with the help of a couple of youtube videos. I'd highly recommend this Laptop.
