Had to Make a Choice ...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great drive
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's like I have my Sony Discman back. Super light so it feels like I'm going to break it when I open the tray, must be plugged in (my discman has horrible battery life) and it spins discs. Jokes aside, a great drive to add for a PC that doesn't have one. Small and easy to store when not needed and not so cumbersome that its a pain to take out and use.

great DVD player thru computer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upon discovering some of my home DVD movies would not play on my DVD player hooked up to my tv and the fact my computer does not have it either I purchased this to connect to my computer for my use. It was easy to attach to the computer. When I plugged it in it instantly started to work and all the DVD's now can be seen. Love it

Good Drive, Good Price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This unit was a temporary replacement for an internal optical drive that went bad while still under warranty. HP kept sending the wrong part so I needed a DVD drive in the interim. This Dell met my needs perfectly: USB, available immediately, inexpensive & functional. Plug & play out of the box, it was up and running in seconds and allowed me to keep working while I continued to be frustrated by HP. The Dell is a bit flimsy and a little awkward to open/close but otherwise is a great value. I am now happy to have both internal and external drives.
