    I haven't run into skipping, sudden stopping, or audio problems with playing DVD's as with a cheaper product I once used. However, there are times it makes a slightly high-pitched noise when playing DVD's you can hear in a quiet room.

    I paid too much money for the value I receive for this device. This drive should have been equipped as standard equipment for my new laptop but it instead must be purchased separately. I'm not happy.

    Bought this as a gift for my sister and she was really disappointed, the disc drive had very weak construction and felt flimsy and fragile just touching it, and then it made a horrific, loud noise when we attempted to use it. She was worried it would damage her discs.

    This Dell product is OK, but almost too slim, and too flimsy. I was not impressed by the possible software that came with the product.
