    Excellent choice for those times you need to rip old CDs into whatever music app you use. Just plug & play.

    Review of Dell - USB Slim DVD+/- RW Drive

    The Dell - USB Slim DVD+/- RW Drive - Plug and Play Model DW316 was purchased along with an HP Envy laptop. I needed computer access to legacy cd's and dvd's since there was no internal drive on the laptop. I simply plugged it into the USB port and it worked perfectly immediately. Having an "add on" device like this which is only used periodically lessens the laptop weight.

    Compact, light-weight and does everything I want of it. While it lacks the ability to do Blue-Ray, my needs were primarily to load software and burn CDs. No complaints!
