    Very easy to install. Works as advertised. Great features. Good construction - not all flimsy. One thing to be careful of, the software takes a very long time to install.

    This is an inexpensive DVD drive that plugs into the USB of your computer. It takes a few minutes to set up the software, and then that's it! I like it, and I'm hard to please.

    Laptops are not coming with disk players so if you have software that is located on disk (CD, DVD) you will need an item like this one. It worked well for my application. Just plug it into a USB port and use it.

    My PC does not have a built in DVD on purpose...I want my PC to be lightweight. The Dell external DVD drive provides the ability to read/write DVDs! Great stuff. No problems.
