    Honestly, I haven't used it much, other than to confirm that everything worked out of the box. So far as I can tell, this is a great device for the price.

    Easy to use. Worked as expected. I was concerned it would be flimsy but while it is not indestructible, it doesn’t worry me.

    This was perfect for what I needed. Addition to my Mac. Never used to burn since I was told it doesn’t so be sure to ask if that is what you want it for.

    I recently purchased a laptop without a CD player and picked this up so I could still download CD's or watch DVD's. The player isn't as sturdy as I thought it would be, but the set up was easy and it plays well. No issues so far.

    This drive worked well and was easy to use with a 2017 iMac. We plugged it in to a USB 3.0 port and it worked right away. Seems to do the job well at a good price.

    So I'm not a fan of having to carry around and whip out all types of various accessories and gadgets to accomplish various tasks as this can get annoying fast. But I guess for the purpose it serves, this technically does the job and it does so fairly well. I have come to be very displeased with the Dell brand over recent years as their quality is so cheap and the products do not have the longevity you would want. In retrospect, I would probably opt for either LG or Asus brand DVD drive. But for the price, this was decent, I'll give it that. Just be aware that you get what you pay for when it comes to Dell. I've learned that the hard way a few times over the years.

    Son's laptop needed a drive. This external drive did the trick...quick set-up, portable and does the trick as to playing & burning cds. A bit cheap plastic housing but not concerned as it works well and the price was right.
