    From a performance standpoint it's about average to other external DVDRWs but the quality seems far superior to most others. I've gone through endless other brands that fail in short amounts of time while this Dell model seems to hold up well. For a few bucks more, it's worth it.

    Bought this drive to read CDs on a Microsoft Surface Book running windows 10 with a dock. It worked without drivers first shot, although I did install the included software. The tray feels a little flimsy, but it seems to be working just fine. The rest of the case seems solid. No Blue Rays have been run using this drive yet, I can’t help you there, sorry.
