    It was a lot smaller than the picture in the ad showed so it must have been an old pic of an older version of the product that looked similar. The size makes it easy to store though and doesn't affect performance

    Works as intended. The included disk isn't necessary and has issues with Windows 11, so just ignore it.

    I don't often need a disk drive when I use a laptop but everyone that I have had built I have had one put in it. However, since I'm retired I can just use an external one, when I have the need. This one has served me well. It's performance is excellent. I trust Dell products, they served me well while in the Marines and havw continued to serve me now. I expected no less.
