    Nothing special here if you need a disc drive at a decent price it'll do but is bit lackluster. I needed one go this it works for the minumal amount of times I had to use it & still works fine to this day. If you need one get it cuz at the time this was the cheapiest best quality one I could find in store that I trusted to spend my money on & well was worth it for fact I needed it.

    Drive works fine, very portable, the tray isn’t the easiest to load. The read/write speed is adequate.

    My DVD-CD drive went bad in my HP Laptop. I purchased the Dell-USB DVD RW Drive. It works like a charm. Saved me the effort and expense of replacing the defective one in my laptop.
