    Purchased this Dell USB DVD+/-RW drive as an accessory for my new Dell Laptop to play movies and to burn backup files. Installation was very simple, just plug & play. Unit is very lightweight & compact. Easy to store. Have only used for a few weeks, so far it reads CDs and DVDs just fine. Would purchase again.

    It was quite easy to get up and running so I could use some of my CDs which is why I bought it. Also if I buy some program now I can just load it on the DVD player and get it onto my computer. It was reasonably priced the only thing is that it doesn’t play Blu-ray but that’s fine

    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.

    Works well with both my data and music CD/DVDs. I've missed having a built-in drive since I got a new laptop, but this gets the job done at a reasonable price.

    This was a reasonably priced drive - I am one of those old school people that wishes computers came with a DVD/CD drive. So far it has worked well for ripping CDs, etc. Have not tried to do too much writing.

    Computers don't come with disc drives any more sadly. For those with legacy physical media this is a must. Great grab on deal of the day.

    This will definitely be an asset if your computer doesn't have a disk drive. I purchased it because of having so many old photos on disc. When I used it I felt like I needed to be careful of the drawer, it's a bit light weight. But for how inexpensive the product is, it is what I expected. Over all it works great for my needs.

    Actually bought this for my work. We occasionally need to copy stuff to CD's and almost none of our computers have the drive anymore. This is really plug and play. Works great.

    This is a great alternative for computers with no cd/dvd drives. It’s compact and light. All it takes is an usb connection. I travel for work quite a bit and it has helped me tremendously without taking much space or having to install complicated drivers. Great product!!!
