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

We had a problem with the setup of a new printer/scanner. We did not have a CD drive with our laptop to complete the installation with the printer's CD. Adding this external drive solved our problem.

I recently purchased a Dell Inspiron laptop and needed an external drive to load software. The drive worked well for the software I needed to install to date. No setup was required.

Just plugged it into the computer and it started working right away. Just be aware if you are trying to watch a DVD, you may need to download a DVD player software first.

Player works real well, picture quality is excellent. Only had it a couple of months, the one I bought it to replace only lasted 4-5 months.
Let's see.
The Salesperson was 4+helpful!

This little drive does just what I needed, as my two new Dell laptops and my new Alienware desktop didn't come with internal DVD drives. It works interchangeably on all three machines.

Using it with a Dell XPS laptop which doesn't have an internal optical drive (due to the XPS's slim form factor) to run some older sofware that needed to loaded from a CD. Worked flawlessly!

Not sure how to recommend this. My computer cd stopped working and this has helped me to play old cd's and yes I know that is old fashioned but I am just learning to use my new Ipad pro from Best Buy.

What I was looking for. Have to be very careful when placing the DVD since holder bends down seeming close to breaking, The cord could also be a bit longer to allow for a more convenient placement. Would recommend.

With computers not having a cd drive anymore this is the way to. So many have cd’s that can’t be accessed anymore. Love having the ability to make use of some of my old ones
