Customer Ratings & Reviews

Quick and easy setup and use. Uses USB port. Great value

Excellent product. It is simple and works well, which is appreciated as most desktops and laptops no longer have CD/DVD drives installed. It's an even better value when this is on sale

Dell - 8x External USB DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive - Black Burn DVDs and CDs with this Dell USB DVD/RW drive. Plug it into your computer's USB port to play and burn discs or to load new software onto the hard drive.

Nice portable cd/dvd witter, a little bit noisy but its get the job done. Got it during the thanks giving sale and for the price i paid for, its a steal! If you need an external cd dvd writter this is highly recommeded.

I purchased a Dell USB external CD drive to go along with my Lenovo Flex 4 laptop, for occasional use...it's a fantastic addition because it's lite, quiet and just plug it into any of the multiple USB ports on the Flex 4 and it's good to go...The Flex 4 and the Dell drive were priced right, as usual, at my Best Buys location. A excellent choice for you.

With a new laptop, I had no internal drive for my TurboTax CD. After some research, I decided on the Dell USB Slim DVD. Best Buy had the product I wanted. The reviews were good, the price was very reasonable, and the taxes got filed!

No hassle to use. I grabbed this for $30+tax, which is a decent sale price. There are similar products that will get the job done at a price around $25 compared to this item's retail price of $40, so I would only buy this item if it's on sale.

Easy to set up. Plug directly into computer no external power source required. l. The unit does not take up much space.

I found myself needing an optical drive recently. Obviously you can't add one internally to a laptop - or to a Mac mini, so external was the way to go. This was just what was needed. Simple, slim, quick enough to do what I needed, recognized instantly, and low cost.

Works well and easy to set up. Great price compared to other places

Works as advertised. Easy to install. Good price. Small footprint.

The DVD player is exactly fulfills my needs with my new laptop which does not have a DVD player

My new PC didn't come with a DVD/CD drive. Call me old-fashioned, but I still use DVDs and CDs. This little Dell USB DVD/CD drive is the perfect solution. Just plug it in and it's ready to go--even on the road. It also works on my tablet and is no larger than a standard jewel case. I couldn't be happier.

DVD drive worked properly from the first time plugged in. Unit is slim and easy to take when traveling.

IT works well & happy with it for the money dell is a good buy

Lightweight to carry, Easy to Install. Fast in reading the discs.

this optical drive works great and it doesn't skip or pause disc when moving it also easy to use just plug in and your PC will detect it right away and now that most laptops don't come with a dvd/cd writer this is a must have if you still have discs to use
