I have had it for about 2 months. The usage I had was relatively minimal. As soon as I tried to connect it, the computer did not recognize it. I thought it was my issue, but it turned out to be an issue with the external device. Get something else instead. I paid €25 and luckily got my money back and bought something else. Be careful with what you choose!

Unfortunately, once again I realize that it's better to give the fifty euros rather than trying to make ends meet with makeshift and cheap "solutions". The product couldn't read a new DVD I bought, and in the cases it remembers to work, it reaches a specific point without being able to play the movie. It's a shame the 20€ I spent.

I bought it sealed, put it in my PC... it simply doesn't read anything... it doesn't even recognize the DVDs I put in.
Update: They replaced it with a new sealed one which has the same problem as the first one! It still doesn't read DVDs... so they sent me a third sealed one which is finally good... it's slow, quiet, easy to use but poorly constructed and I don't see it lasting long. Additionally, this series seems to be problematic as they sent me a total of 3 to find one that works!!! So be careful.
