    I purchased a new dell laptop. I always create a system image on a disc in case of any system problems. Since the laptop did not include an optical drive, I purchased the Dell stand alone drive. It has done everything I needed it to do and the cost was very reasonable.

    Great portable DVD player! Does make a little whirring sound when significantly rewinding or fast-forwarding, but overall a great product for the price.

    The DVD portable drive works great. Needed one to attach to devices that do not have a CD/DVD drive. Great for DVD playback and recording files externally.

    I purchased this drive since my new computer did not have one. Very happy with the plug and play. Worked right out of the box. It came with addition software that isn't the free trial ware versions. I am looking forward to loading and trying it out. Overall a great value.
