Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a great little drive at a very good price. I bought this to use with a new HP Laptop. No need for manual configuring or additional software. Lightweight and portable.

Expensive for obsolete tech. It did do its job well, so it’s alright.

So far it works great on my Mac. I am just using it right now to import all my Music CDs into iTunes and it's incredibly fast. My internal Mac drive was messing up bad, it rejected mounting my CDs and when it worked it took for ever to import the files. Glad I got this Dell DW316 external drive. I haven't tried any DVDs or any disc burning yet so I hope it's not going to give me any Mac compatible issues or tell me i need any additional software. This Dell external drive seems to be built a bit better than other units but you still need to be gentle the loading tray, other than that it's a good quality. I will follow up my review when do more testing.

Although we haven't used this device much yet, it has performed well. It is thin and lightweight so it would be great if you need to travel with it. We are slightly concerned about how light it is and whether or not it will hold up to repeated use, as it was one of the less expensive models available.

I purchased this for the odd times when I want to have. DVD download or a SW download from disc. The size is great to be able to store it in a small drawer and the read/write speed is just fine. I don’t need to download in a second but when I need a drive it is a good choice at a good price.

Works well with my MacBook Pro and Mac Mini. I was able to review and download file recored years ago. Staff was very helpful with information. I learned more in the 15 minutes in your store than I did in more than the hour I spent at Apple store. And, the price was much less. So I got more for less! Love it.

Very easy to use, plug and play. Works well. Fast way to watch movies and listen to music.

Worked without any issues! It is light and can be easily moved around by a stiff cable. Perfect for on the go use with a Laptop

this unit works well with my Dell wireless laptop as an external DVD. I used it to back up my Windows 10 operating system onto several DVDs. It is extremely lightweight and does not require a power source other than the computer connection.

Great Product, very dependable and fast with a great price and easy to use.

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.

Worked as needed. I was able to recover some old DVDs with this.

This product was exactly what I wanted. Portable, sleek and the drive was fast. Sometimes you have a disk drive and you sit and listen to it whirrrr.... but this drive just shot right through the disk with no pauses or problems whatsoever.

Now I can listen to cd's while working at home. It was also very affordable.

This is a excellent product, I definitely recommend it.

In my view, it is a good additional accessory for all those laptops that are not able to play any cd. It is easy to use, just plug it into the laptop via USB and that's all. The times that I have used it, it worked perfectly fine.

great product i was just about to buy a neww d drive when why and got this plug usb plug in and ran and downloaded what ineed to do very quickly and very chep $$$ recommended

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.

Nice, slim, external DVD reader and writer. I use it with a new laptop for copying music from CDs to disc and for burning music CDs ... so far it has worked flawlessly.

Small and lightweight, decent quality. worked flawlessly.
