    I purchased this dvd+rw/cd-rw drive for use with an iMac. It seemed it was going to work, but failed to read or write cd's/dvd's. After multiple attempts and researching Dell online support, I returned the item.

    A commodity item which worked fine but the set up DVD was loaded with advertisements which are very annoying to wade through. Take the delivery time provided by Best Buy with a "grain of salt".

    With most of the computers coming without a DVD player, this is a handy option. Especially good for older programs that are still used that came on DVDs
