    Out of the box this was easy to use and exactly what I needed. I burned about 7 of the 24 discs I needed and it quit. I took it right back to the store. Bummer. Was great while it lasted but left me in a bind.

    Device is not recognized by my HP laptop. Dell support for drivers and live support is non-existent and was told I needed to go to a dell store to get the support I need. the person I spoke to was not coherent and never shut up to listen to the issue I had with the dvd device. Basically I'm stuck with a device that I paid for and cannot use. `Once again Dell fails with customer support.

    If you're like me, you have a few things you haven't converted to a hard drive/flash drive. There aren't any bells & whistles, in the looks department, but it does the trick.

    It works as expected. Nothing special. Computer did not come with a drive, so I needed to buy in order to write to disc or read programs.
