Customer Ratings & Reviews

This DVD slim external portable DVD drive is great. It’s portable and totally fits my needs. It operates extremely well. I highly recommend owning one.

Easy to set up and use, did the job well. I needed to reinstall my HP Printer in my new laptop and the old one I had wouldn't work on Windows 11. This did the job!

Excellent external drive that is fast and very efficient operating. It is slim and compact and easy to set up. It makes it easy to bring up that information or play that movie where and when you want it.

I bought the Dell USB DVD drive because my laptop doesn't have a DVD drive AND this drive was on sale. This drive is small enough to fit in the carrying case of my laptop, and its weight is nearly negligible. The drive works as it should without any issues. The color is unobtrusive, and the build quality seems to be on par with most of Dell's products. The nice thing about this drive is that it doesn't need an external power supply. It draws power from the USB port. Having this USB DVD drive with me gives the flexibility of watching a movie on a DVD or recording data to a disc for use elsewhere. The fact that it weighs so little makes it easy to keep in the bag all the time.

Good quality for the price , simple and very easy to use.

Great Drive! Works flawlessly. You can buy one and use it on all of your devices. Plug it into any usb port on any device and that is it!

Easy to install. Works great with HP pavilion laptop purchased together. Bought for occasional use. not expensive. Lightweight. Slim.

very pleased with the product. I was able to accomplish my desired objective when I connected this product to my computer.

Very easy to operate. Nice, compact, good. And the price is not high. Very affordable.

Good produce, works well for what I needed it for.

Easy set up and works great. It was at great price

After a couple of months of researching for a cheap external DVD drive for my laptop I opted for this model. There are mixed reviews as with any electronic device. I haven't had any problem with it but on the safe side I purchased the Geek Squad protection plan just in case. I've only played DVDs on it and it works fine with a DELL laptop running Windows 10. I'm using VLC for the media player and my operating system is running the latest patches (updates). To answer a question I saw for this product, when I insert the DVD it'll automatically launch my media player (VLC). Every computer will react differently due to the personal settings that you have configured for it.

This product was really easy to set up and use. Just had to plug it into my computer and install the software to use it.

I needed an external drive and this was perfect for what I needed it to do. It's good for CDs and playing games. It's plug and Play. You don't have to install any bloatware or anything. If your computer doesn't have a DVD drive, it's a good addition. The price was too good to pass up.

The Dell DW316 DVD/CD-RW External Drive purchased is user friendly and most of all price competitive compared to other similar products.

I am old school, was not enthused to see laptops did not contain disc drives. I have a dvd collection of titles not generally found on the streaming services. This dvd drive is the best solution to my dilemma. I have used this drive quite a bit since getting it and I am very satisfied with it's performance. I have not tried ripping or burning with this device yet, but very happy with the playback of my commercial dvd recordings. It is very compatible with my new laptop, the only drawback is it is a little hard to manage sitting in my lounging chair. I may attach some velcro to my laptop to help keep it in place.

Super easy to use, works quickly and quietly . Small.

Simple to use and great quality! Easily compatible to devices.

Computer runs smoothly and efficiently. HP all the way.

Just what we were looking for. Perfect! We were able to record as we looked to on a USB drive.
