    There's not much to say beyond the fact that it works perfectly. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a plug-in CD/DVD drive. It was less money than some of the other brands and in my opinion works as good as some and better than most. It plays games and movies equally well. It's a good value and dependable.

    When I recently purchased a new laptop I was sad to lose the ability to watch a movie when doing my digital drawings. Then I did some research and found this plug and play. I haven't tried it out for burning CDs yet, but it does download them and play dvds. It's a little noisy, but I'm use to it since my old laptop did the same.

    Good Value For A Compact Drive

    Used this only a few times but it is simple and straight forward, comes with a few essential programs for creating disc and editing content. The unit itself is very light giving it a cheap feel, but light is an obvious advantage if your traveling with it. Overall a decent product and I would buy again, the only real negative is that it doesn't have the ability to store the cable, some of the other units I saw the cable wrapped around the device to fold away.

    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.

    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.

    Extremely happy with an external plug in for my viewing CD needs. I am using this as external peripheral with my smart tv to play blue ray and DVD. This comes with a bonus feature of writing as well. Great buy on a deal at Best buy @20 bucks . Can't go wrong with that.
