    It's a really fast drive. It's also quite sturdy. I am ripping all of my CD collection -- quite a task, and it has handled this perfectly. My old drive died after 15 CDs, so having one that actually holds up is great.

    I bought a new 13" Dell XPS laptop recently. I needed an external CD/DVD drive. It works very well. Price was quite appropriate also. Very satisfied.

    I had to invest in an external hard drive since my new Lenovo yoga doesn't have a CD drive. It's very easy to use and a great alternative to an onboard drive.

    The Dell USB Slim DVD Drive is easy to install and use. The product comes with a USB Cable which you connect one end to the drive and the other end to a USB port on your computer. Once it is connected to your computer it is ready to use. The product also comes with a DVD that has Cyberlink Media Suite which you can install on your computer. This drive is very quiet and burns DVDs nicely.

    I purchased a DELL all in one computer that did not include a DVD player, so I purchased this add on DVD/CD player to use with it. It was a simple plug and play installation by simply plugging into a USB port. The player does not need a separate power source, it uses the USB port for power. I have played movies DVD and CD disks on my computer without any problems with sound or picture.

    I bought this instead of a really cheap version from a foreign company, and I'm glad I did. This disc drive is fragile enough as it is, and recoils a lot when opening the tray, so I can only imagine how bad the cheaper one would be. Thankfully everything runs fine. I've tried DVD's and CD's, as well as game discs and all have worked fine. It comes with a media installation disc so you needn't have to worry about not playing movies or anything like that. A bit expensive but if you really want to save internal computer space for other things, yet need CD's/DVD's badly, this is a great purchase.

    purchased to access some older discs, and it’s worked reliably so far. Setup was simple—just plug it in and it’s ready to go, no extra software needed.

    I bought this because I had a program that I wanted to put on my laptop and my homework ran off a CD. It works great for what it is but the short cord and noise can sometimes be a hassle.
