    I didn't have enough USB ports on my computer to perform the new project. Otherwise, the Dell Slim DVD+/-RW Drive would have been perfect.

    If you need a basic worker bee extrernal usb dvd drive, this one does the job. Nothing fancy or particularly special, but utilitarian. Pretty much plug and play. A little bit slow. Also, not the sturdiest of drives. But on other hand, light weight and easily portable.

    Needed to install the included software to get it to play a movie. Tray feels a little flimsy and it was very loud when the disc spun up.

    I bought this peripheral because the DVD function in all my 3 Dell laptops computer went in-op and could not be repaired or replaced. This unit is an affordable purchase and works well with my 2 Dell Inspiron laptops and my 1 Alien laptop.

    Bought this unit because DVD players are being replaced by USB thumb drives. New computers do not offer DVD RW units anymore. Unit is self powered off of the usb drive and works very well.

    Our new desktop did not come with a disk drive, so we purchased this Dell disk drive. I have a lot of music CDs to download into my new computer and so far it’s working great.
