    I needed a DVD drive for my new computer and purchased the Dell USB Slim DVD. It works excellent and was very simple to hook up. Just plug the USB cable (supplied with DVD player) into a USB port.

    My son wanted extra memory for his PS4. Works great and definitely less costly than upgrading PS4.

    With so many laptops not carrying dvd drives I needed an option to play them in my classroom since my district bans streaming. Other than a stand alone dvd player, this does the job well.

    Needed an external CD since only my old desktop still has one. This drive works well if a bit slower than an internal drive. For the money an the times I will be using it it was a good value.

    Just bought it two days ago. Have been using it once in a while. Connection & disconnection were very easy. And the reading speed was acceptable. Haven’t tried burning any CD/DVD with it yet. One thing though: the software that came along in the box (CyberLink Media Suite 12) couldn’t be installed on Win 10. Pity.
