    Good inexpensive external dvd reader/writer to be used with my new laptop that does not come with one. Works just as described right out of the box.

    Seems kind of flimsy and i am afraid of breaking, but other than that does what it is supposed to do. Still prefer to have the CD drives built-in laptops.

    My last external DVD burner was huge, this is so much nicer. Wish it didn't have a tray and was slotted but that would likely require more power. Works fine off of one USB port.

    All you have to do is plug it into the computer and you can once again use your CD/DVD's. Small enough to fit under the monitor, but powerful enough to play any CD.

    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.

    Purchased a New HP Laptop which didn't come with an internal Disc Drive. Seems the majority of them now are lacking this feature! Needed to load some software on the new laptop that was on Disc and didn't want to spend a ton of money since this was going to be a one time use of the product for this purpose. The Laptop had Windows 11 installed on it. Plugged the drive in and use it to load the software with no issues at all! Very good price at BB for the drive!
