New Technology Working with Old Technology
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did not want to purchase the turbotax software download and my new laptop that does not have a cd drive. This dell usb slim dvd drive allowed me to easily install and use my turbotax software that I purchased on a cd. This portable cd drive purchase was awesome, it has allowed me to use my new laptop without a cd drive with other cds and I do not miss not having the drive on the laptop. Allowing the new technology to work with the old technology is great. Love this product.

Good DVD drive, no good DVD player
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased a new Dell Inspiron laptop with Windows 10, and as most new laptops it didn’t include a DVD drive. I purchased this external USB drive, plugged it in to a USP port and voila, the computer recognizes the DVD drive. Then I inserted the included DVD and installed its software, which just happens to include DVD player software. Installation went smoothly. Long story short... The external drive was able to read and run the included software DVD, but was unable to play a new out-of-the-box DVD movie. I was able to watch the movie on a Sony DVD player connected to a Sony TV; so the problem wasn’t the media. Who to blame? Maybe Windows 10, maybe the DVD drive.
