    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    We bought a laptop but I was more concerned about the lack of CD Rom that the laptop had. The saleswoman pointed me in the direction of the external, which I thought were obsolete! Great Saleswomanship!

    This comes in handy when you need a DVD player or a burner for your laptop or desktop that doesn't have a drive especially for the newer ones. Works great and have not had any issues with it. Very reliable.

    This pressure cooker with so many other options was everything the reviews said. Only 2 issues is there is no cookbook included (only 2 recipes). I also read in the instruction book not to cook pasta or noodles in the pressure cooker which I did not know. I don't think that applies if you use the slow cooker option.
