    Works great for everything except I needed to download a 3rd Party app to play commercial DVDs. The drive comes with an app that was supposed to play most DVDs, but it didn't support the necessary file type. It was adequate for my primary need was to manage files replacing the failed onboard disk drive on my laptop.

    While 'Plug and Play' is an over-confident promise, with the Geek Squad's help I was able to download a necessary driver and then use the device successfully.

    Since I bought a new Dell Laptop and it did not have a DVD player, I did a research in what is in the Market. I was gladly surprised that DELL makes a DVD External prayer. It is my experience that if you need anything - computer - laptop or any external drive, consider DELL...the top in quality and price

    The Dell 8x External USB Drive is excellent. I bought this so I could watch dvd's on my Dell Laptop Computer. The picture quality is good for watching movies. I also used the CD-Rom drive to upload software so that I could set-up my Canon Image Laser Printer, and it worked fine.

    With most of the computers coming without a DVD player, this is a handy option. Especially good for older programs that are still used that came on DVDs
