    I recently installed two new Dell computers at a friends place. They did not come with optical drives. They prefer Dell brand products. I purchased this so they could play videos on their desktop. This is a USB 2.0 device so I expect it to burn disks slower than a USB 3.x optical drive. Using the drive it does the job but feels a bit flimsy compared to the ASUS external optical drives I have purchased in the past at a similar price.
