    This product worked exactly as advertised. All I had to do is plug the included cable into my laptop, a message screen popped up asking what did I want to do, I clicked on my choice, inserted a cd and off it went. Very easy to use

    I built a new computer and the new case had no bay for a DVD writer/reader so was forced to get an external drive. I shopped around on line and read some reviews and decided on the Dell drive and it has performed as expected and that is what I needed,

    Glad to find this portable device for my new laptop. I do not store my photos on the cloud so this works for me for family research photos, my art work and the large number of slides which I have converted to storage disks. My photos and art span over 50 years of visuals so that's quite a bit of digital information. It's light and easy to set up.

    Since newer computers don't come with a CD/DVD drive anymore, this is a good effective inexpensive device for allowing continued use of any discs that you still want to use. For me, I have a few live performance dvds and many workout discs I still use.

    Outstanding product that did exactly what I wanted it to. I bought an All-in-One PC from Best Buy as well, and I didn’t realize until I got home that it didn’t have disc drive. This portable disc drive is able to act as a CD/DVD drive for my PC. I’m grateful for this product, for sure.
