Very pleased
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had a problem with a different DVD burner, so went looking at reviews. Needed one that would work with a Surface Pro 6. The other one required more power than the USB connector on the Surface Pro 6 provided. Have been using this for over a year, roughly once a month to back up my novels to disc because I do not trust USB or SD card backups alone. Have only used this on Windows 10 device though, so keep that in mind. Purchased it because it had very good reviews on Best Buy and elsewhere. It has held up fine. Has never been dropped (knock on wood) so cannot speak to its durability under duress. Kept indoors too. I burn two DVDs once a month roughly.

Solid Performer, Dell Quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've used this external drive with a Latitude 3810 (W10 Pro), an Inspiron 5373 (W10 Home) and an Asus KMA200 (originally W8, upgraded to W10 Home). Plug and play, no performance issues. If you want to use it to watch a DVD movie, you'll need to get VLC or another media player. W10 no longer has an internal DVD player. VLC seems to be the industry norm, and it works will.

Good optical drive
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this drive with my new laptop so that I could use it to listen to my cd collection and watch my dvd collection. The drive works well but my laptop won’t load the software so I had to download Microsoft media player in order to use it!

Works Great, No Problems
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this hooked up to my laptop. I've had no problems. It's not delicate; I've moved it from room to room and house to house. I have enjoyed watching 3rd Rock From the Sun on dvd (which can be bought cheaply and watched at leisure without commercials).
