Handy accessory
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I haven't taken this out of the box yet. My old computer had the DVD player in it. My son recommended that I buy this so I will have it on hand when I need it. I'm still learning to use all the features of my new laptop and will certainly get around to using this component before long.

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased a new Dell laptop that did not have a drive. Purchased this one as we need to be able to access disks. Seems fine so far. Originally purchased an Open Box item that was rated Excellent, but it would not read the disk. Drive had been manufactured 2 years ago. Not sure why that one did not work.
