    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.

    Great addition to my Dell Alienware lap top. The DVD drive is slim and easy to store, doesn't take up too much space. Highly recommend if you need an external DVD +/RW Drive.

    With most of the new lap tops coming out without a DVD writer, this unit was a great add on. Very reasonable price and performance. No issues, worked first time, computer recognized it.
