Customer Ratings & Reviews

This drive meets my needs since computers no longer come with disk drives. Works great.

I bought this drive to use in a couple of different applications, and it has worked well for me. I have played DVD and CDs with it, and it has never let me down. Small footprint and works every time.

It is just the right size and it is snappy and works well.

My laptop does not have a DVD/CD drive so I bought this so I could use quilting DVD’s in my sewing room. This is small and so easy to use. I could it be happier with my purchase.

I bought this so I could play my (antique) collection of CDs, as the newer computers no longer incorporate a CD player. It was reasonably priced and works just fine. I've had no problems with it at all.

This is a great little drive at a very good price. I bought this to use with a new HP Laptop. No need for manual configuring or additional software. Lightweight and portable.

Great item for the price. Works great. I would recommend it to see your old dvds.

Although we haven't used this device much yet, it has performed well. It is thin and lightweight so it would be great if you need to travel with it. We are slightly concerned about how light it is and whether or not it will hold up to repeated use, as it was one of the less expensive models available.

Easy to use, doesn't take up much space and easy to store.

I purchased this for the odd times when I want to have. DVD download or a SW download from disc. The size is great to be able to store it in a small drawer and the read/write speed is just fine. I don’t need to download in a second but when I need a drive it is a good choice at a good price.

So far it works great on my Mac. I am just using it right now to import all my Music CDs into iTunes and it's incredibly fast. My internal Mac drive was messing up bad, it rejected mounting my CDs and when it worked it took for ever to import the files. Glad I got this Dell DW316 external drive. I haven't tried any DVDs or any disc burning yet so I hope it's not going to give me any Mac compatible issues or tell me i need any additional software. This Dell external drive seems to be built a bit better than other units but you still need to be gentle the loading tray, other than that it's a good quality. I will follow up my review when do more testing.

Did the job. Not the fastest, but I'd probably need and internal desktop drive to get that. Considering my needs copying CD's for a few people in church who don't have new equipment at all, works fine with the enclosed software.

easy to set up and use. takes very little space.

Very good for the price, decent, works, compact. Exactly what I was looking for.

this unit works well with my Dell wireless laptop as an external DVD. I used it to back up my Windows 10 operating system onto several DVDs. It is extremely lightweight and does not require a power source other than the computer connection.

Great product and great price! Easy install and works great

easy to use, small, compact, does not clutter my desk

Great drive and super easy to use. Recorded DVD looks and plays great!

Worked without any issues! It is light and can be easily moved around by a stiff cable. Perfect for on the go use with a Laptop

Very easy to use, plug and play. Works well. Fast way to watch movies and listen to music.
