1; Looks clean and simple 2; Runs pretty quiet and low vibration depending on media as it varies i've found; 3; Slot drive = sexy vs tray DVD drive; Worth that alone IMO and why I bought it
1; No USB 3.0 connection for faster speed, gotta get a Blu Ray drive for that 2; Slower vs internal drive but I knew this ahead of time 2; Pricey for what it is, a slot drive shouldn't be that much more vs tray, so a bit of a rip off; Wait for a coupon or sale like I did for better price of $35
