Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a well priced external DVD/ RW Drive. It's very lightweight and slim so easily portable. I purchased this item as my new laptop did not have a DVD drive and it functioned perfectly.

Excellent external drive that is fast and very efficient operating. It is slim and compact and easy to set up. It makes it easy to bring up that information or play that movie where and when you want it.

Easy to install. Works great with HP pavilion laptop purchased together. Bought for occasional use. not expensive. Lightweight. Slim.

I bought the Dell USB DVD drive because my laptop doesn't have a DVD drive AND this drive was on sale. This drive is small enough to fit in the carrying case of my laptop, and its weight is nearly negligible. The drive works as it should without any issues. The color is unobtrusive, and the build quality seems to be on par with most of Dell's products. The nice thing about this drive is that it doesn't need an external power supply. It draws power from the USB port. Having this USB DVD drive with me gives the flexibility of watching a movie on a DVD or recording data to a disc for use elsewhere. The fact that it weighs so little makes it easy to keep in the bag all the time.

Easy to use, just plug it in and it works perfectly fine, no issues

very easy set up even for an old guy like me. Worked perfectly the first time. and you can’t beat the price.

works great as intended and easy to use would recommend.

I needed a DVD drive for my Lenovo laptop to load the TurboTax disc and figured it would also be handy to have to access the many photos I have on DVDs. I didn't want to spend a fortune for something that would only be used intermittently. This was basically plug and play, with no complications whatever, and at a good price. I ordered online, picked up at the store and was able to start working on my taxes the same day.

After a couple of months of researching for a cheap external DVD drive for my laptop I opted for this model. There are mixed reviews as with any electronic device. I haven't had any problem with it but on the safe side I purchased the Geek Squad protection plan just in case. I've only played DVDs on it and it works fine with a DELL laptop running Windows 10. I'm using VLC for the media player and my operating system is running the latest patches (updates). To answer a question I saw for this product, when I insert the DVD it'll automatically launch my media player (VLC). Every computer will react differently due to the personal settings that you have configured for it.

I am old school, was not enthused to see laptops did not contain disc drives. I have a dvd collection of titles not generally found on the streaming services. This dvd drive is the best solution to my dilemma. I have used this drive quite a bit since getting it and I am very satisfied with it's performance. I have not tried ripping or burning with this device yet, but very happy with the playback of my commercial dvd recordings. It is very compatible with my new laptop, the only drawback is it is a little hard to manage sitting in my lounging chair. I may attach some velcro to my laptop to help keep it in place.

This burner was purchased to load a game on my HP laptop that doesn't have a burner. Not only did it work perfectly but was almost silent and fast. Windows 11 had it working in less than 17 seconds after plugging in to the usb port. This is perfect for any software install on a macine without a DVD.

Works well after figuring out how to use it. Lightweight and fast. Would buy this product again if needed.

The Dell portable USB Slim DVD worked like a charm. No hassle at all, straight out of the box. No driver needed, no configuration required!!! With the included USB cable I just connected it straight to my desktop PC, like a plug-n-play, and in no time at all, I was loading my program in DVD unto my desktop harddrive flawlessly!

Works as intended. Arrived on time. Light weight easy to carry around.

Great Price, simply to use and works perfectly every time!

It works well, is quiet and reads discs quickly. The software it came with isn’t terrible, isn’t great but gets the job done. It’s light and low profile, easy to stick in a backpack

Another awesome plug and play device! I recently purchased an all in one desktop computer that came with no DVD. Recently retired, I do not want to do a monthly subscription to Microsoft Office and I still have my installation disc for Office 2007 that still works with the operating system 10 windows. I had absolutely no issues with installing my Office package. The DVD is very slim and it fits right under my computer out of the way.

Needed CD/DVD drive because my new laptop came without one. Reads and writes data very easy and plays DVD Movies. Very thin and light, just side into your Laptop Bag and you are ready for work or play.

This external DVD player is perfect for a newer model laptop. Since many no longer have internal DVD drives, and not everything is available on the Internet, it's essential to have an alternate method of installing programs. The drive also allows you to write DVDs for providing clients with copies of your work. This external player is an excellent value for it's relatively low price. I have always used Dell computers and peripherals with great success.

The external USB DVD+RW/CD-RW worked flawlessly. My DVD drive on my laptop stopped working. I did not have time to get it repaired, before a deadline. I was able to complete the assignment on time.
