Loud but not in a good way

I would recommend this to a friendWorks well and reasonably priced
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My installed DVD-RW quit working (the door won't open) and frankly, it was easier to just buy this external one for the few times I need to view or rip a disc. This one works quietly and is fast. Price is very reasonable, too!

Completes my 2 in 1 Laptop

Nice Potble Optical Drive
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My new Dell all-in-one computer, like most, doesn't include a built-in optical drive. I can't live without an optical drive so I bought this dell portable optical drive. There isn't anything special about it, it does what I need it to do and it worked out of the box when I plugged it into the computer's usb port.

Best to use for laptops that have no CD/DVD drives
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the longest time I had bought laptops with CD/DVD drives built in, and so with my new laptop getting this was something that took a little getting used to, but once I got it installed it was like a candy store. So don't be afraid to go for laptops that are CD/DVD-less folks! The separate drives are worth it.
I would recommend this to a friend Dell Plug and Play
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was easy to install and very easy to use. The music has good sound and the movies are clear with good picture quality. I would recommend this. The price was excellent. It's very slim and light weight. It fits right into the case with my laptop for easy travelling.
