Customer Ratings & Reviews

Over the course of a year, I used this maybe 15 times to make CD mixes for a friend, and I always treated it very carefully, since it seemed kind of fragile. Well, that was all I got out of it - it failed after that. Good thing I got the Geek Squad replacement protection (which it seems like they're not offering any more: not surprising, since it seems like these days smaller electronics are "built to fail". This was my second external drive in a month, when I got it!), so I got store credit I can use to get another. I have to use that, of course - no refunds - but after whenever that one fails, I won't buy from Best Buy again. I am not in the market for electronics that fail almost as soon as you buy them. If I was using it a lot, it wouldn't have lasted me more than a month! That's not Best Buy's fault, of course: it's not their fault that everything is made in the orient and the manufacturers would just as soon have it fail quickly so you have to buy another one of whichever device you've bought quickly. I'm tired of this! And I'm disgusted that you can't get laptops with internal drives in them anymore. I am still using my old Thinkpad - it works great after 5 years and an overhaul and upgrade - but I can't find a replacement internal drive for it.

With laptops not having dvd drives this is convenient.

Buying process online and curbside pickup were easy and efficient. DVD drive was easy to hook up, set up, and use. 5 stars for buying process and quality of product.

This is a great little antenna! I used it for my "bedroom" flat screen, put it up with its form stickies on my window and I get about 20 channels including all the locals.

Works fine, feels a little cheap, had trouble getting it to open the first time. But, like I said, it works just fine.

Really neat product and works well with dell computer

Have only used it a couple of times so far. Like it better when it is installed in the monitor(more convenient) not always having to hook something up and another piece of equipment sitting out.

THIS WORKS GREAT AND ABLE TO PLAY MY OLD DVDS AND GAMES.

Works with my Dell Laptop as well as my Surface Pro 3

It does the job but sometimes takes to long to boot up. Other than that its great for casual use.

This drive sometimes has issues when ripping music CD’s and needs to be plugged and unplugged to reset it on occasion. Works well most of the time however. It is cheaply built and won’t withstand a lot of abuse, so be careful with it.

Since laptops seemingly do not come with DVD players I bought this one. It does work after downloading a free player from Microsoft stores.

I like this drive it worked well for what I bought it for. My new laptop did not have a cd rom drive that I could load my software with. I bought a windows 11 laptop since my other one would not support it. This drive worked flawlessly and windows 11 found it and installed the driver. It was a very good deal at a good price.

love the slim design of this external DVD player. It works great and is quick loading. Dell product have been purchased by me and other family members for years. If you need an external DVD you will love the slim design and the job it does.

Got this to download some CD based programs onto my new =laptop, which does not have a CD-ROM drive. Worked like a charm. Will also use it for playing CD movies on my laptop. Quite satisfied.

This "tag-along" external, Dell USB DVD/CD Drive is quality in a small package. Just plug and play to see high quality movies, videos and music. Makes an wonderful addition to units without internal drives.

Worked great after installation used Installation disk, no problems just wanted to have for a new gaming computer without disk drive. Just treat it nicely because it is light weight

Since NO computers come with a CD/DVD drive anymore had no choice. My camera and my Mahjonng game both use CDs to load onto computer. Seems to work well...

The disc drive reads discs along with being able to burn them, works as intended.

Works great. Most laptops don't come with a DVD drive anymore, I still need one once in a while. This works perfect for any computer just plug it in
