    Dell has always had great products and great prices. It couldn't be better to come together at Bestbuy. I couldn't believe the price.

    Finally was able to get a good External DVD/CD-RW Drive to run my embroidery pattern discs for my new computer that doesn't come with a CD drive anymore. A stupid practice for the laptop manufacturers.

    Caught the item on sale and the value is incredible. I was able to load my Turbo Tax on my new PC without any problem. The plug and Play was a little slow but I reconnected it and away it went. Great Value

    Wanted an external drive and this is perfect as new laptops don't come with one. Has a longer cord about 18" than other ones. Got it on sale for half price-can't beat that.

    Computers don't come with one of these any more. If you have old programs or DVDs you want to rip, one of these is essential. This one has now worked reliably for many months.

    This DVD writer does not require a power cord...it get's it's power from the USB connection. Great option for those systems that do not have a built-in drive. Sleek design makes it look good on the desktop.

    I'm quite happy with the product, now that I've figured out how to get it synced up with a video player app. I guess everyone is supposed to know what's involved, but it's a false assumption.

    WOW! This is a game changer. No need to buy additional replacements for programs that require a disk on a laptop that doesn't have a disk reader. Money saved:)

    I was originally looking to purchase a portable DVD player. When I spoke with the folks at best best buy they suggested this item. I didn't think I would use a DVD player but I have used it a ton. Happy customer:)

    Plug and Play feature is important to me. So far, no issues with this DVD/CD player. My only concern is that when the slot for loading a disk is open it fees a bit flimsy and needs something placed below it for support.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Performance is as expected. Transferring data into disc, however, is kind of not clear

    It does just what I wanted--the disk drive in my computer got intermittently quirky and the techs at BB couldn't figure out what was wrong ... this solved the problem
