    Its lightweight, unobtrusive, and works flawlessly. It connected right away to my Lenovo laptop and hasn't given me a single hint of a problem. It was a great purchase.

    I bought the Dell DVD+/- RW to supplement my Dell Inspiron that does not have a DVD Drive. The Drive operates as expected and is a nice slim size.

    This was just what I needed. It was a simple plug and play to read my X-rays disk. I’ll use it to play some old CDs as well.

    Adequate substitute for a built-in

    So far, so good. Because it just sits on a surgace, it is much more awkward to use than a built-in disk reader. But since these seldome are included in contemporary desktops, this is an adequate substitute.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Does exactly what it is supposed to do. I have a Dell so perhaps that was why it was so easy to install, burns quickly and seems to read most formats
