The drive was easy to install into my Linux desktop and I have used it to play CDs without problems. I can play my own previously-burned DVDs, but this OSGear drive will not play store-bought DVDs. I can play these same DVDs via an external (USB) cd/dvd player (two different ones), but they will not play at all with this OSGear drive although I can see that it is detecting them. I'm not sure why that is, but since that's not my primary intended use-case I haven't investigated further. --- Follow-up: After I investigated and installed the "regionset" package, I was able to discover that the drive came pre-configured for Region 2. Once I changed that to Region 1, I was able to play a US DVD.

Had problems right out of the box. Skipping data and making grinding noises. Low quality. Plastic tray is very thin and flexes. The bad drive I was replacing tray was twice as thick and didn't flex. Tried to ask the seller for help. He told me it was my CD's (which work fine in every other device I own) and passed the problem off to Amazon to deal with. Having sellers with products like this does nothing but hurt Amazon IMO. If your looking for a 9.5mm drive spend more and get something of quality. Take a pass on this one.

For 22 dollars this is a great replacement for my Windows 10 HP laptop (Envy). To install: I powered OFF, removed battery, installed drive, put battery back in, plugged back in, then powered up, but the device did not show up. I then put in a music CD, but still nothing happened. I even used 'Device Manager' to scan for new equipment, but that didn't find any new device or help me in any way. Finally, I rebooted laptop a second time, and now the device shows up properly, and works perfectly! For some reason I needed TWO reboots. Everything is fine now. Very happy!
