    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.

    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.

    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.

    this optical drive works great and it doesn't skip or pause disc when moving it also easy to use just plug in and your PC will detect it right away and now that most laptops don't come with a dvd/cd writer this is a must have if you still have discs to use

    You can buy $1,000 computer and they still don't have the drive that you can burn CDs with. This is great portable and inexpensive.

    My new PC didn't come with a DVD/CD drive. Call me old-fashioned, but I still use DVDs and CDs. This little Dell USB DVD/CD drive is the perfect solution. Just plug it in and it's ready to go--even on the road. It also works on my tablet and is no larger than a standard jewel case. I couldn't be happier.
