Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

This product seems to be working great. It was so easy to set it up and use it right away. It is very light and easy to unplug or plug in to your laptop when needed.

Easy to install. Worked first time. Highly recommended.

Inexpensive drive. Works well with Windows 11. No problems using a hub to connect it to my Microsoft PC.

Does the job exactly like it should. It is feather weight and probably wouldn't withstand something heavy falling on it, but like I said, it does the job and is very easy to use; plug-and-play.

Needed a disk drive for my Razer Blade 15, but didn't want to cheap out. However, there's a flimsiness to the thin disk tray that makes it feel fragile when changing discs. Gave me zero issues reading and writing DVD-R content. Overall good, lightweight, and practical portable drive.

I just replaced an old laptop and needed this because today's laptops are built without DVD players. I still like to listen to CDs and burn DVDs on occasion. Without this, my DVD ripper software license would be worthless. I removed this item from the box, removed all of the protective coverings, plugged it into my USB hub, and inserted a CD to test it. It was that simple.

Great compact external optical drive. Not too loud.

Long gone are the days when manufacturers put extra devices in laptops. There's no blame - most of the programs that are purchased are available online for download and installation. Every once in a great while, there's something that requires installation from DVD, and it appears that I have every object that requires computer control/interface that does not come with downloadable software. This works fine. It occasionally doesn't want to communicate with the computer, necessitating removal of the USB cable and reinsertion. It's loud, and it reminds me of an old 5 1/4 inch drive searching around for the software leprechaun. It seems a little slow, but that may be relative as we live in an era of SSD and internet connections that are in the hundreds of mbps. It's an OK drive. It does it's job, but there might be better ones out there.

My last dell desktop was bought in 2011 and worked great only upgraded because it would not accept widows 11. I love dell products

I bought this for my wife's laptop since it did not come with a DVD drive. It was easy to interface with the laptop and performed as expected.

Easy to use. Very slim and takes up little space.

This external USB drive is very good and provides the functionality that I needed.

Worked fine. Plugged in and ready to go. No complaints.

I got Dell Notebook on Black Friday deal. But it does not have internal DVDRW drive built in. So I search it and fortunately It was on sale as well at half price. Slim size and works great with my Dell Notebook PC. I highly recommend it.

I like this item, especially now that we dont have cd or dvd ports on our laptops and computers anymore. Its easy to transport with and slim enough to fit into my laptop pouch.

Laptop did not have internal cd/dvd drive. BestBuy gave a great price for this external one. You only need a USB port to connect it to PC. It is very light and easy to manage. It works great. Just be careful loading the disc into the drive it can easily get stuck inside it.

EASY TO USE, COMPACT ENOUGH TO SIT ANYWHERE, GREAT TO TAKE TO AND FROM THE OFFICE AND THE HOUSE.

Simple to operate, easy to install, does not take up a lot of space.

Works great. Easy to set up. Plays video CD as well audio CD. I have put in a varity of disk it read them all
