    It worked just as fast if not faster than a built in drive to a laptop. It is also very light and compact.

    Since my computer does not have a disk drive, I am thrilled that I can still access my CDs via my Dell USB Slim DVD+/-RW Plug and Play Drive. It is so easy to use and it works great! I had to use the fast forward to find the song I was rehearsing. Many thanks for making such a fine product!

    Nice slim, yet should have longer cable. Hard to use in limited space. Works well, except for very intrusive software.

    Love this external drive! Installation was simple. I bought a new desktop computer that unfortunately did not include a disc drive. I shuttered at the thought of buying an external drive. However, it was inexpensive and works great! Easy to use and does not take up a lot of space. Has become one of my favorite devices.
