Customer Ratings & Reviews

Most laptops do not come with a DVD/ Cd drive anymore. This works great when you need to go old school and use a dics.

Amazed at how small this is compared to an older external drive I have. Hardly used any space. Can place it on top of computer where it is out of the way.

Bought it to connect to an Apple MacBook and it works fine for playing DVDs.

Great product. Software and drive were simple to use. Well made.

with the new laptops nor coming with these drives, its a necessity to have it. this one was easy to install and does what we need it to do.

This disk drive is fast and efficient. Putting in a disc and pushing down feels like it might snap the tray in two, but hasn't yet. This is my first external cd drive, so maybe they all feel this way.

This was the perfect thing for me I have a dell laptop that does not have a CD drive and this was on sale and works really well. I was able to rip Cd's to my computer and use it to add software as well all around a good product. it works fast to.

Very good product and definitely I recommend to anyone

Excellent, easy to use. You do not need to install a program to use it, it is very simple, you just connect and go. It's not loud.

Great product. It comes with everything you need. Works great, I have no issues with it. I would definitely recommend this product.

Handy and it's easy to use. It's sleek design makes it so portable you can bring it with you anywhere.

Exactly the product I needed after my old external drive stopped working.

Easy to use with plug and play/read. Absolutely as easy as it could possibly be. No proprietary software needed. Plug it in, make sure it's detected and you're ready to go.

I was worried when my laptop did not have a CD drive. However, it did have everything else I wanted. So I bought the Dell - 8x External USB DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive. It works perfect and I am very pleased with it!

Meh. I have to put a weight on top of the usb drive DVD- cd drive. When it gets up to speed it vibrates so badly that a weight is a must , or the cd drive will slow down then stop because of how badly the vibration occurs. For the price, again, meh. It’s okay. If your short on cash and your laptop doesn’t have internal drive, which it should, then this contraption is satisfactory.

Normally, I would do a lot research before making a purchase like this, but I was pressed for time. I was a little concerned about compatibility, but the setup was quick and easy and so far every thing works as it should. However, I will say that I have not yet burned a DVD or CD as of yet and for that reason I can not give this device a 5 star rating.

Have not used drive yet, but $25 to have a DVD drive capable laptop with read and write function, as well as portability, will be useful. It is nearly impossible to find a contemporary laptop with a DVD drive. All on a 11th gen Intel i7 with graphics GPU....no brainer!

Needed external DVD reader/writer since PC desktops are following Apple and eliminating built in on higher end models. I still need to occasionally install an older program or write some files. The Dell was a perfect fit to the Dell I notebook I had recently purchased.

Set-up of this device was better than expected. As an external component, it works well with the desktop computer.

Very easy to use would recommend to every one that need this add
