Dell External DVD +/- RW Drive

This external DVD player is perfect for a newer model laptop. Since many no longer have internal DVD drives, and not everything is available on the Internet, it's essential to have an alternate method of installing programs.
The drive also allows you to write DVDs for providing clients with copies of your work.
This external player is an excellent value for it's relatively low price. I have always used Dell computers and peripherals with great success.

I needed a drive for my laptop and this one was easy to use; however, keep in mind you will need some additional software to be able to play DVDs. I have tried to make it work for DVD playing with windows 10 without luck. Not that quiet but it will get the job done.

Works well and easy to use. Driver uploads to laptop automatically once attached with USB (included). Low profile design takes up little space, allows for easy stow in laptop bag.

Had to Make a Choice ...

As the title states, We had to make a choice between Ram or a CD-RW when purchasing Our Dell computer so We chose Ram.
This is the same CD-RW as is typically installed in most Dell computers today. We decided to purchase the external version, which is a plug-n-play via USB.
Out of the box, We plugged it in and was immediately recognized by the computer OS.
No issues, works as designed. Will use to store, and create playlists of My music collection. I still use CD's, and stream.
Would recommend for purchase, and use.

It is super lightweight to handle and slim to store and carry around.
Quality is good as expected from Dell product. Watched a couple of DVD movies on my laptop and worked flawlessly. In a true sense, it is plug-and-play.
The box contains a DVD containing software for writing DVD. But Haven't written any DVD yet.
Very pleased with the purchase and product and service by Best Buy.
