    The purchase was a good thing, the new laptop doesn't have a CD player making it real hard to down load music.

    I have new dell laptop running windows 11, i bought this dell cd drive that boast just plug and play. Unfortunately it did not work and after speaking with dell technical support was able to get it to play some videos. Needless to say I returned it and purchase another brand which advertised plug and play also and was happy that it worked perfectly.

    That one time when you need a dvd-drive and your computer doesn't even have an HDMI port much less an optical drive; this sleek drive is the one to get.

      ElCucuy,

      Thanks for your review and we're sorry to hear about the noise from your computer. Here are some tips to help reduce your computer noise but updating your BIOS:

      An out-of-date BIOS can cause loud fan noises by having an outdated temperature table for the system. Refer to update BIOS and follow the instructions to update the BIOS on your computer. You can also follow up with our Technical Support Team here - 1-800-624-9896.

    I don't recommend this device because . it does not work properly. If that CD has a tiny scratch it won't read it. So buy a better one not this one
