Does the job
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.More and more pc's and laptops are coming without dvd drives built in, so this is a helpful device. It is plug and play with the included usb cable. It feels a bit flimsy and it is a bit loud, but those are trade-offs for its compact size, which is not much bigger than a dvd itself.

Teaching&bestbuyforthewin!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed a disc drive to help show movies to my kids in school. Since COVID the students start off in my class room, and I need to play a movie so that I can focus on preparing for that day's classes. Now that computers no longer have disc drives, this is exactly what I needed. It is super light weight and easy to add to my school bag.

The missing drive
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With a new laptop, I had no internal drive for my TurboTax CD. After some research, I decided on the Dell USB Slim DVD. Best Buy had the product I wanted. The reviews were good, the price was very reasonable, and the taxes got filed!

Valued addition
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased a Dell USB external CD drive to go along with my Lenovo Flex 4 laptop, for occasional use...it's a fantastic addition because it's lite, quiet and just plug it into any of the multiple USB ports on the Flex 4 and it's good to go...The Flex 4 and the Dell drive were priced right, as usual, at my Best Buys location. A excellent choice for you.

Gets the job done
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No hassle to use. I grabbed this for $30+tax, which is a decent sale price. There are similar products that will get the job done at a price around $25 compared to this item's retail price of $40, so I would only buy this item if it's on sale.

SImple, effective
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I found myself needing an optical drive recently. Obviously you can't add one internally to a laptop - or to a Mac mini, so external was the way to go. This was just what was needed. Simple, slim, quick enough to do what I needed, recognized instantly, and low cost.
