    I just recently purchased a Dell all-in-one and the new computer does not have a drive so I purchased this one. Not for work but for pleasure. I have an immense CD collection and the old all-in-one does work well anymore so the Dell External drive is great. Easy to use and was inexpensive.

    Had to buy this as I made a mistake and bought my son a laptop a few years ago without a CD player. This makes a big difference when we are traveling. Future reference CD/DVD players are required on all future computer purchases. It also now gives me a way to externally boot up systems when down (allowed me to recover an older laptop that had issues that caused the BIOS to corrupt and was not able to recover with the restore disk at the time.

    This drive works wonderfully. It works on Windows 10 and 11, and is a simple as plugging into the USB port and it just works. The only downside is forgetting how long discs actually take to load after being used to downloading on to an SSD.

    A Must Have for Old Schoolers

    My Dell external CD/DVD drive is a very convenient device for CD users. I bought my first drive to replace the faulty internal drive on an older laptop. The Dell is used on my newer Acer that doesn't have a CD/DVD drive. It's great for Old Schoolers who still use CDs. It's also good for viewing DVDs and sharing music and files.

    Easy to install and use. Does exactly what it advertises. Using at work with a Dell laptop that did not have an internal disc drive. This is perfect for occasional use and small enough to travel with (although I do not have the need to do this so I can not speak to the durability during movement).
