    I wanted an external player for movies and music for my PC and this does the job. My PC is a Dell also so it is a nice match but not necessary. I also like shopping at Best Buy because you can find salespeople who can actually answer questions for you unlike most other stores.

    I needed a way to handle DVD burning and reading. This DVD handles all my needs from outside the laptop. However, you do not have the extra weight by having it in the laptop when you do not need it.

    really a great purchase . I had many doubts though before buying but I can honestly tell its a worthy item for the price. The disc is being read quickly and there is not any much noise during the read operation. You will not regret for this purchase and decent produxt in this price range. Best buy service as always been best so far.

    Love it! It does exactly what I needed it to do, and it is extremely easy to use. I have hundreds of old CDs that I've been wanting to put into my iTunes library, but my computer does not have an internal cd drive. (You know, because most don't anymore.) This little guy did the trick, and I got it on sale, so the cost was great!

    Seems like a fragile product, but has been a solid performer for a few months. For the price, it has been a good value.

    I purchased this external DVD/CD drive with my new laptop since it doesn't have one of its own. Call me old-fashioned, but I'm not a fan of having a computer with no CD drive. I mostly use it to play older games that aren't available through download engines like Steam and Battle.net. It's well worth the 40 bucks for me.

    DVD drive, easy to use!!! Our 12 year old computer crashed a while ago so went to Best Buy to get a new one. New computers don't come with CD/DVD drives anymore, we didn't know This is so easy to just plug into the new computer and now I can view all my pictures again.
