    I needed a Extrenal CD that is easy to hook up and use. The Dell DW316 was perfect. Very easy to set up and get going. So far works very well!

    This SLIM external DVD Drive is excellent and a decent price. Since modern desktop computers don't install a DVD drive, it fits perfectly on my desk.

    Works but feels fragile.

    Does what it's supposed to. Feels extremely light and fragile like it could easily break. However, I did drop it from desk level, flat, and it still works. So yeah, I recommend it. If you step on or roll on it...it'll most likely crack.

    My computer did not have a DVD reader installed I wanted to add one that was reasonably priced since I would not be using it often. I spoke to a staff member and he suggested the Dell plug and play DW316. Bottom line: easy to install and use and gives me what I was looking for. Truly: Plug it into a USB port and drop in a disc. Starts up automatically. Thanks Best Buy!

    I was hesitant, was not sure I was buying the right DVD RW drive to run a turbo tax program. I also burned a back up disk on a blank DVD recordable disk.......good price and lightweight . Plug and play
