    I bought this because my computer doesn't have a drive and I wanted something reliable, light weight, and cost effective. It has media software that comes in the package with it. It was Media Suite version 12. It gives you several options for tasks. I really wanted it for the sake of playing DVD's, but you can also listen to music, look at files, burn/rip music, etc. It wasn't difficult, at all, to navigate setting up. It looks good, too, if that matters.

    Bought a new PC that doesn't have a CD-Rom. Needed to install some Windows software on CD's that I have used over the years. The Dell plug and play Drive worked perfectly with Windows 11. Fair price also.
