Great external cd rom
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My husband got this for his gaming computer as it doesn’t have a cd rom in it. It works great and he has been able to use it for more things besides just games.

||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I guess this is the external optical drive unit I had to buy because the new laptop I bought doesn't include one, and I have numerou-- NUMEROUS -- CDs and DVDs (that replace the LPs and 78s I've purchased in my lifetime), and I still want to listen to that mammoth investment that sit on my shelves. The technology that began as improvement in quality sound reproduction has degenerated into a quagmire of mediocre performance -- with increasing cost!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from YourDellTeam
Posted .Hello Jark,
We are sorry to hear that your PC did not come with an optical drive built-in. Please keep in mind that the drive is becoming a bit of a rarity as digital media continues to be more common and PC's strive to become more thin and light. We think you will appreciate the "plug and play" functionality of your external drive as a result for when you need it.
If you have any other questions, feel free to contact Dell Support for further assistance.
Best Regards,
Anthony P.

||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very affordable and works just fine. The mechanism to slide the CD in is not very robust, and seems a little iffy, but it works nonetheless.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The optical drive in my Macbook Pro went bad again, and I didn't want to spend the time nor the money to get it replaced.
