    I bought this to replace my dead built-in DVD-rom drive on my Macbook Pro, and it worked great. It also goes with my new Macbook Pro, which has nothing, and it's lightweight and plug-and-play. Granted it's a pretty simple device, but it does what it's supposed to well.

    Works great - completely plug and play. Well worth the money. Most laptops no longer come with DVD drives, so this adds an easy portable capability

    The Dell USB Slim DVD drive was just what I needed to read/review quite a few disks I had amassed over the years. The pricing for the drive very is reasonable.

    Unexpected bargain

    This came at a discount with the laptop and has been quite useful. This is my first time without a built-in external drive, so having the ability to download the old-fashioned way every now and then has been good for the price. I even have co-workers borrowing the external device from me!

    Good product that integrates well with my Dell laptop. Having it separate kept the weight off of my laptop, which is a good thing. The price was reasonable, too.

    DVD Drive - Must Have

    Since most laptops do not have a DVD/CD drive anymore, this is a must have. I still have some programs that have a DVD disc, and this works perfectly. Easy to use, and small enough to tuck away in a drawer until you need it.

    Nice addition to my Dell laptop that doesn't have a CD/DVD slot. And what's even better is that I got it on sale and paid less than I would have at Dell. This does all I need it to do.

    A great product at a very reasonable price. Works like a charm. I enjoy buying from actual stores rather than online.
