    I originally bought this DVD card reader to view my medical records, but it’s been great for playing DVDs too. It’s reliable, works as expected, and has been a great value overall. I definitely recommend it.

    Good deal on the sale price. Representatives helped me choose the right DVD=/-RW Drive to suit my new HP laptop and it works amazing. Most new laptops do not come with this anymore, thus having to add it myself. Thank You.

    Works perfectly with my Dell laptop. No set up issues and went right to work. Only issue I had is the fact the unit is so light, you have to hold the body to push the tray in to close. But small price to pay for a single wire, lightweight drive to use with my laptop.

    Super neat little gadget that I didn’t know existed until it was a suggested purchase when I bought a new laptop. Love that I can hook it up to my laptop and still access my photo CD’s and other things.

    While the small computers are great to handle and use, there seems to always be times you need to have a physical drive for those pesky disks that inevitably are needed. This drive is a plug and play unit that is inexpensive enough and light enough to just toss in the bag and have at hand when you need it.

    Love the cd-dvd drive! Super amazing and the price is awesome! I recommend and would repurchase! No doubt about it! Purchased the item online then picked it up from a local Best Buy. It was an easy process. The drive is packaged nicely & it's super slim and portable! Comes with a USB port for connection.

    So far, so good. I bought one of these and haven't used it much in like other say, it is a kind of delicate design So just be careful with it. I got two when they went on sale and use some of my reward points to pick up the second one. I will leave a review in a couple of years again.

    I found myself needing a new laptop and to my surprise NONE are made with a disc drive anymore! This was devastating for me, however I searched for an external disc drive and found this one by Dell. This external disc drive can be plugged into a laptop and does not require any software installation. It runs like a champion!!! I find myself going back in time as I burn CDS and play roller coaster tycoon on my laptop. I would definitely recommend buying this item!
