    Obviously there are better drives out there, but for the price I have found this one to be dependable and fairly fast, and not too loud.

    This purchase decision really came down to...Do I spend virtually nothing on an external CD with unknown brand name, or do I spend next to nothing on a Dell? I chose the Dell, even though as a percentage it was significantly higher than the no-name brand, on a dollars-out-of-my pocket, the difference was about the price of an egg mcmuffin....hardly worth worrying about. It works fine - does what it is supposed to do. As long as that continues to be the case, I will be happy with the purchase.

    The Dell USB Slim DVD Drive is easy to install and use. The product comes with a USB Cable which you connect one end to the drive and the other end to a USB port on your computer. Once it is connected to your computer it is ready to use. The product also comes with a DVD that has Cyberlink Media Suite which you can install on your computer. This drive is very quiet and burns DVDs nicely.

    This item was easy to setup. I don’t use it too often, but it’s nice to have considering that laptops no longer have a dvd drive included.
