    Does what it is supposed to do. A little slow compared to others but I didn't have high expectations. I am slightly disappointed with the speed but wasn't expecting to do too many copies.

    The Worst

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Since PC is no longer come with the option I had to buy a UBS DVD drive. Since I had a dell computer I bought a Dell Drive. I have had it for a few years, but never had the need to really use it. I may have watched 2/3 DVDs at most. Now it won’t Lock into place. Warranty is no longer an option, and I am certainly going to not replace it with a Dell product.

    flimsier than expected. but for its price i guess i shouldnt complain... i do wish it was more plug-n-play ish because you still need SOME sort of media player for it to work. thankfully there are a lot of free ones out there. i did not / and dont plan on using it for writing ON dvds/cds etc. just wanted to watch dvds

    I bought this drive because I had a pretty big disc copy project to do, and wanted to save a little wear and tear on my laptop's drive. It worked fine for the project. My main concern is that it seems pretty lightweight and a little flimsy, and I'm not sure how long it will continue to function. That said, for the price, I'm happy with it.
