Worth taking. Tested - it works :)

Looks good, reads all popular formats. Set up without any issues, the system immediately recognized it as an optical drive and what it should be used for. After a month of use, no complaints have arisen. Lightweight and thin, can be easily carried along with a laptop. It's quite good quality, not made from the worst plastic. And most importantly, it's sold at a reasonable price. Compared to many other models, it can be considered more than affordable.
Quite noisy. When reading other discs, it makes sounds that could be recorded and used in a horror movie. At times it's annoying, especially when working at night, it feels like it will wake the whole house. The surface turned out to be quite prone to getting dirty, with fingerprints and dust noticeably visible on it.
