Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

The price is the best around. Speedy and super easy to use

I love this DVD drive I’m able to play all my old school pc games on my new age computer ((((:

This product was really easy to set up and use. Just had to plug it into my computer and install the software to use it.

Quick and easy setup and use. Uses USB port. Great value

I purchase this product to be able to download CD's to my laptop. The first one I bought was quite noisy - like an airplane taking off! I returned it and the 2nd one worked great!

We were excited to receive this item. With most computers not having a cd drive option an longer it is great to be able to purchase external ones. Great price and looking forward to using!

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.

Easy to use with my laptops. Light and compact. Fits right in my laptop bag. Adequate speed.

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.

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.

Works very well. I was given one by my work a while back, dropped it, and the spring function stopped working. So, minus 1 star for durability. No issues outside of self-inflicted ones. I bought another, and it works well.

For the price this little thing is awesome. I haven't tested burning anything, but have something around that I can use for old CDs and DVDs is great.

For the price and then catching it on sale at almost half off, this is the best slim external USB CD drive going.

The Dell DW316 DVD/CD-RW External Drive purchased is user friendly and most of all price competitive compared to other similar products.

Very compatible with the stand-alone computer I purchased. Very efficient plug and play device with no snags in its operation.

Worked correctly right out of the box. Drivers updated automatically and could play a cd within 2 minutes of opening.

Works. Speed cheap small easy to use. Great deal!

Excellent product and it has a downloadable media reader! The reader alone saves you the cost of a separate purchase of a media program. I couldn't be happier with this---great choice!
