    This comes in handy when you need a DVD player or a burner for your laptop or desktop that doesn't have a drive especially for the newer ones. Works great and have not had any issues with it. Very reliable.

    Have only used it a couple of times so far. Like it better when it is installed in the monitor(more convenient) not always having to hook something up and another piece of equipment sitting out.

    This is a great little antenna! I used it for my "bedroom" flat screen, put it up with its form stickies on my window and I get about 20 channels including all the locals.

    This pressure cooker with so many other options was everything the reviews said. Only 2 issues is there is no cookbook included (only 2 recipes). I also read in the instruction book not to cook pasta or noodles in the pressure cooker which I did not know. I don't think that applies if you use the slow cooker option.

    I like this drive it worked well for what I bought it for. My new laptop did not have a cd rom drive that I could load my software with. I bought a windows 11 laptop since my other one would not support it. This drive worked flawlessly and windows 11 found it and installed the driver. It was a very good deal at a good price.

    Since laptops seemingly do not come with DVD players I bought this one. It does work after downloading a free player from Microsoft stores.

    This drive sometimes has issues when ripping music CD’s and needs to be plugged and unplugged to reset it on occasion. Works well most of the time however. It is cheaply built and won’t withstand a lot of abuse, so be careful with it.

    love the slim design of this external DVD player. It works great and is quick loading. Dell product have been purchased by me and other family members for years. If you need an external DVD you will love the slim design and the job it does.

    This "tag-along" external, Dell USB DVD/CD Drive is quality in a small package. Just plug and play to see high quality movies, videos and music. Makes an wonderful addition to units without internal drives.

    Since NO computers come with a CD/DVD drive anymore had no choice. My camera and my Mahjonng game both use CDs to load onto computer. Seems to work well...
