    I needed a USB plug and play DVD player. I found this Dell drive. I was able to watch the movies I needed to watch as my computer lacks a DVD drive. Excellent quality and great performance, I love it.

    I was trying to find a good deal on one of these that was compatible with blue ray but could not. I have one from years ago (2018) that I use when traveling to watch my blue ray movies. This one is simple and very easy to use. The only downside is it doesn't recognize blue ray.

    Unexpected bargain

    This came at a discount with the laptop and has been quite useful. This is my first time without a built-in external drive, so having the ability to download the old-fashioned way every now and then has been good for the price. I even have co-workers borrowing the external device from me!

    I found myself needing a new laptop and to my surprise NONE are made with a disc drive anymore! This was devastating for me, however I searched for an external disc drive and found this one by Dell. This external disc drive can be plugged into a laptop and does not require any software installation. It runs like a champion!!! I find myself going back in time as I burn CDS and play roller coaster tycoon on my laptop. I would definitely recommend buying this item!

    I bought this drive mainly to record my vast CD collection onto Apple Music/iTunes on my desktop & iphone. So far I have recorded over 185 albums without issue. The price I paid was very reasonable, also. I do recommend this product.

    Love this external disc drive. Didn't realize most new computers no longer have them. But this works great. Thanks Geek Squad for helping me get this issue straightened out.

    I gave it 4 stars as have not used it yet. My reason is it was in stock and at a good price and Dell has always had quality products.

    DVD Drive - Must Have

    Since most laptops do not have a DVD/CD drive anymore, this is a must have. I still have some programs that have a DVD disc, and this works perfectly. Easy to use, and small enough to tuck away in a drawer until you need it.

    The Dell USB Slim DVD drive was just what I needed to read/review quite a few disks I had amassed over the years. The pricing for the drive very is reasonable.

    Works great - completely plug and play. Well worth the money. Most laptops no longer come with DVD drives, so this adds an easy portable capability

    Nice addition to my Dell laptop that doesn't have a CD/DVD slot. And what's even better is that I got it on sale and paid less than I would have at Dell. This does all I need it to do.

    Good product that integrates well with my Dell laptop. Having it separate kept the weight off of my laptop, which is a good thing. The price was reasonable, too.

    Great addition to my Dell Alienware lap top. The DVD drive is slim and easy to store, doesn't take up too much space. Highly recommend if you need an external DVD +/RW Drive.
