    This is great for listening to CDs. I thought I wouldn't be able to listen to my CDs anymore once I got my new computer. Extremely easy to use too

    I bought this to use with my Dell XPS laptop, for the primary purpose of nostalgically replaying old computer games. Compatible with even those early 2000 CD-ROMs, and plays them with no problem. Would absolutely recommend!

    Love the cyberlink software dvd that came with the drive. Makes it easy to use, play, edit and copy digital media. I've made many copies and no problems so far. Would recommend and buy again.

    Perfect add on to laptop, slim design, quiet operation. Arrived in factory sealed box undamaged even with all of the Christmas season shipping / deliveries this year. Glad it was available for ship to home along with the text updates. So far no issues or concerns with performance of the unit. Got it on sale and was a good value for the money.

    While there are lower cost, off-brand products available, including one that lasted three years, I'm sure Dell is built to a higher quality and is a viable addition to any workstation. Accepts most DVDs, Blu-Rays, and CDs.
