    Works perfectly, and I have no issues at all. A longer cord would be nice, but the cord length is definitely sufficient.

    Although I wish my new laptop had a DVD/CD drive, I was happy with this Dell separate player. I think it will serve all my purposes well.

    Nowadays laptops and 2-in-1s don’t have CD/DVD/BRD built in, so how do you use those disks? Never fear, Dell is here with this external drive and it works. Period.

    The external CD drive is easy to use with virtually no set up. Well worth the price.

    Bought a 13" Dell xps laptop and I need a external dvd, the first external DVD I bought from another online retailer didn't work. Save yourself time and money go to Best Buy.

    This is a basic drive that will do it's job. To save weight and considering everything is going app-based and streaming, laptops don't really come with drives anymore. This drive will allow you to install your older programs without any problems.

    My new laptop is a solid state so had to buy this in order to connect to my printer. Wasn't sure I could do it but it connected the two. Glad I bought it!

    This was first external DVD drive I had bought in a few years. Man, things have changed. It's the size of a DVD case. Just plug it in via USB and it's good to go.
