    Bought this for my wife to access an old training CD. Integration was seamless and worked great. Haven't used it a whole lot, but very happy for now.

    Thought it was great to add disc players just by simply plug in to the USB port. Thought I had to install it in the computer !

    The Dell DVD player works well but there isn't any real documentation. I was frustrated enough to think about returning it until I spent about an hour on the phone with Dell. The guy I spoke to was incredibly helpful and now I can easily watch DVDs.

    My girlfriend had a large CD collection that she needed converted to a digital format. It did it, will probably never throw it away or look at it again.

    I bought this for half price on Black Friday to go with a new Dell laptop that did not have a cd/dvd drive. I have burned 5 CDs so far and the sound quality is great!

    I purchased this external USB drive because my new laptop has no DVD driver. It's good to upload software, but not good for DVD player watching movie.

    Most new computers don't come with read/write optical drives any more, but there are still occasions to want one. This is a cost-effective solution.
