    This will definitely be an asset if your computer doesn't have a disk drive. I purchased it because of having so many old photos on disc. When I used it I felt like I needed to be careful of the drawer, it's a bit light weight. But for how inexpensive the product is, it is what I expected. Over all it works great for my needs.

    I needed an external DVD drive since my laptop did not have an internal one. I ordered the Dell Slim External USB drive because it did everything that I required. It is lightweight yet solidly built, and performed well.

    This SLIM external DVD Drive is excellent and a decent price. Since modern desktop computers don't install a DVD drive, it fits perfectly on my desk.

    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.

    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

    Such a lot for so little. I bought it just in case. I haven't used a cd or dvd in so long, but the price was so tempting, I had to get one.

    Perfect for today's laptops that are slim and don't have bulky drives built in. Only draw back is the drive doesn't come with DVD software to watch movies.
