    Despite the slow demise of CD/program disks, we all still need access to a disk drive every now and then. This drive is the perfect companion to keep in the household/office drawers for anyone to connect to their computer (PC and/or Mac) to use when needed. Work and functions 100%, no compatibility issues either.

    I was looking for something to put my CDs on my computer and than put on a jump drive for my car. I have tons of CD and current vehicle did not come with a CD player installed. What a bummer. However this did the job.

    The Dell 8x External USB Drive is excellent. I bought this so I could watch dvd's on my Dell Laptop Computer. The picture quality is good for watching movies. I also used the CD-Rom drive to upload software so that I could set-up my Canon Image Laser Printer, and it worked fine.
