Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very easy to set up. Works well and is a good value.

I gave it 4 stars as have not used it yet. My reason is it was in stock and at a good price and Dell has always had quality products.

This came at a discount with the laptop and has been quite useful. This is my first time without a built-in external drive, so having the ability to download the old-fashioned way every now and then has been good for the price. I even have co-workers borrowing the external device from me!

I found myself needing a new laptop and to my surprise NONE are made with a disc drive anymore! This was devastating for me, however I searched for an external disc drive and found this one by Dell. This external disc drive can be plugged into a laptop and does not require any software installation. It runs like a champion!!! I find myself going back in time as I burn CDS and play roller coaster tycoon on my laptop. I would definitely recommend buying this item!

a must for all my cds that I listen to while on my computer

Love this external disc drive. Didn't realize most new computers no longer have them. But this works great. Thanks Geek Squad for helping me get this issue straightened out.

Since most laptops do not have a DVD/CD drive anymore, this is a must have. I still have some programs that have a DVD disc, and this works perfectly. Easy to use, and small enough to tuck away in a drawer until you need it.

Good drive, works well. USB mini cable seems outdated

The Dell USB Slim DVD drive was just what I needed to read/review quite a few disks I had amassed over the years. The pricing for the drive very is reasonable.

Works great - completely plug and play. Well worth the money. Most laptops no longer come with DVD drives, so this adds an easy portable capability

Nice addition to my Dell laptop that doesn't have a CD/DVD slot. And what's even better is that I got it on sale and paid less than I would have at Dell. This does all I need it to do.

New laptops do not include internal DVD/CDROM drives. This is a great add-on for a reasonable price. You can stash it in your case in the off-chance you need to look at data, burn, listen to a CD/movie on your travels.

Good product that integrates well with my Dell laptop. Having it separate kept the weight off of my laptop, which is a good thing. The price was reasonable, too.

Great addition to my Dell Alienware lap top. The DVD drive is slim and easy to store, doesn't take up too much space. Highly recommend if you need an external DVD +/RW Drive.

This is a friendly user external DVD/CD-RW drive. It's slim so it's a nice small unit. I used it several times to play an old family CD, but I will be using it for storing photos on a CD as well.

With most of the new lap tops coming out without a DVD writer, this unit was a great add on. Very reasonable price and performance. No issues, worked first time, computer recognized it.

Purchased with a black friday deal and well worth the price and functions like it should.

I bought a new Windows 10 PC without a DVD drive. I had "stuff" on CDs that I wanted to migrate to the new PC. I just plugged the DVD drive into the USB port and I was up and running. No mess, no hassle.

Easy to install. Worked first time. Highly recommended.

Worked perfectly with my Dell computer. Although it is lightweight and thin, it is very sturdy. I wish that had continued placing optic drives in the computer, but this is the next best thing.
