    The Dell DVD/CD burner worked very well when I needed to burn music to my computer as most laptops do not have a dvd drive anymore. Worked great! I also put in a non-blu ray movie and again worked well. No issues!

    This burner is a snap to connect and easy to navigate when selecting files to burn. The biggest negative is the software that is supplied does not allow you to burn a DVD that you can load in a DVD player. The DVD's that you can burn will only play on the PC. If you want the ability to burn a DVD that can play on a DVD burner you have to upgrade the software for an additional $39.99.

    So far this drive has been working just fine. A bit on a loud side, but no real complaints. As a matter of fact, I did recommend it to a friend and he is happy with his purchase as well.
