    Just what I needed to add to a arm mounted , Dell Optiplex so that I could upload software. Nice and small/slim, worked easily without any issues.

    Works fine, feels a little cheap, had trouble getting it to open the first time. But, like I said, it works just fine.

    It works well. Ripping old cds is necessary at times. I do not see any laptops with drives available. The quality of the build is definitely for occasional use, and that is all I needed it for.

    Works great! Only issue was finding a free app on my laptop to play the dvds I was trying to play. Besides that I haven’t had any issues and have loved the feeling of watching dvds.

    My internal Toshiba laptop drive died and I wanted a quick fix to load some software. I connected the drive via USB and my system automatically recognized it. Got the software installed with no issues!

    I bought this external drive since my new laptop did not come with an on board drive. It connected and worked great with no issues and installed the software I needed. I have not used it as a writer at this time. All in all it seems to work well for what it is but even at the lowest cost it was still a bit high for an external drive.

    I didn't have enough USB ports on my computer to perform the new project. Otherwise, the Dell Slim DVD+/-RW Drive would have been perfect.
