Customer Ratings & Reviews

It works well and is easy to use. It is small in design and takes up very little space

I am very happy with this drive. I had purchased another brand and it was more of a backup drive, had two usb cords and wasn't user friendly really didn't like it. Read allot of reviews and the ones for the Dell were good and mentioned it only had one usb cord which I like. Works great did my jobs without any problems.

Worked great. I have a Del all in one desktop, and this Dell drive was a simple plug and play where another brand I tried required downloading software to work.

Incredibly easy to use - just plug it in and it works (Windows 10 PC). It's nice and slim, CD ejects well. No problems. And it appears to be durable because it fell off a table recently while running with an audio CD, hit the floor, but continues working just fine.

This item was easy to set up and worked well. And, it was less expensive than I anticipated. I’m very pleased.

Great plug 'n play DVD. Great performance, perfect size. Worked very well.

This drive meets my needs since computers no longer come with disk drives. Works great.

Great item for the price. Works great. I would recommend it to see your old dvds.

While I may be living in the past I occasionally need a dvd drive as I have older documents and pictures on DVD. I also still transfer music from dvd to my computer. This does the trick. Not fast but acceptable.

It's good. I have done my work with it. It's small and very easy to transport everywhere.

Very good for the price, decent, works, compact. Exactly what I was looking for.

Bought this drive for a new xps and it works just as advertised. Made the ease and installation of programs quick and painless, disk burning speed not bad, price point not bad.

I needed this for a show I had DVDs for and wanted to watch on my computer. It worked really well for that. But it’s not quite “plug and play” . There is some necessary set up that must be completed, and even my not so Tech Savvy self was able to get that done! It easily plugged into a USB port.

Was looking for a reasonably priced USB 2.0 DVD r/w . The Dell was on sale at the time, and seemed like a nicer drive than the other USB 2.0's Hooked it up and installed the Cyberlink Media Suite (included). Then opened a photo DVD to transfer the files, was pleased how well it worked.

I bought the Dell 316 external optical drive because the internal drive stopped working. The drive itself works well . The CyberLink Media Suitev.12 would not load into my Inspiron M731R laptop running Windows 10. I use VLC Media Player and Nero Burn Express 3 and the 316 drive works flawlessly. Good mechanicals, out-of-date software...

Great Price. Plug and play. No problems. Couldn't ask for a better deal.

It works fantasticly at playing movies. The app that comes with it works very well too

The salesman was very helpful and provided much information to help us select the right item. Dell is a great product. Many thanks

I was able to recover information stored on CD's that I needed. This unit is plug in and go.

Works great! Since new computers do not come with a CD/DVD drive, I needed this in order to install programs into my new computer.
