We needed an external DVD reader/write drive. The Dell unit was at a good price and met our needs

Totally easy to use and/or figure out. And very roomy that 1T. I am storing music. I plug it into my computer and I have instant music, or I may record music to it.

The unit is a true plug and play, being 83 years old this is very important. The drive worked as anticipated no short coming whatsoever. This is a quality product Best Buy and Dell thank you.

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).

I love my new laptop! What a joy to have speed and efficiency! My only challenge was the limited number of USB ports. I resolved this issue by buying a USB Hub. Thanks Geek Squad for the recommendation!

Bought this for use with a DELL laptop that didn't come with a CD/DVD drive. I don't use it often - mainly for installing software purchased on a disc, or burning the occasional CD/DVD. It hasn't given me any problems in 2 years. Can be a bit noisy when a disc is actually inserted and spins up.

Looking for a simple dvd / cd drive for my laptop. This came in really handy. Its quiet and easy to use just plug and play its that simple. If your laptop didnt come with a cd drive and u need one for your old school dvds and music cds you cant go wrong with dell.

Great dvd drive to hook up to laptop and can watch movies or play any etc stuff

Easy to setup and use. Read speed is fast. But it's a little noisy.

It’s a shame modern computers aren’t coming included with a cd drive anymore. That’s why I bought this. Good speed (I use it for putting music cds on my computer to save from purchasing on iTunes). It takes a few minutes for each CD but it does what I need it to do. I’m satisfied.

A MUST with a new pc that did not come with a drive. There is always a time where you need a drive in your pc to pull up old records or just watch a DVD movie at work. I am not sure why new pc's do not come with this feature anymore.

When I got my recent alienware, without a drive bay I needed something to read the occasional CD devices like quicken or those that still come physical. This meet the need and since dell owns alienware I felt compfortable. its quickly discovered and works without an issue. I'm happy with the product, but have not written any discs with it yet.

easy to hookup works great with lab top is portable.

I like this. Like all drives of this type, it appears to be a little fragile. But it will stand up if you treat it with respect. Just take your time and don't manhandle it. So far, I've used it on multiple operating systems from Linux to Mac to Windows. It works when the computer's main drive won't. Enough said.

This is light weight and easy to use. I would recommend it.

Very reasonably priced and worked as expected. Great item and excellent assistance from computer salesperson.

This drive works great. Now with all the slim books, you don't get a DVD drive. This worked immediately with window 10. Downloaded the correct drive right away. In 2 minutes I was Installing the program I needed from the DVD drive.I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking fro an external DVD player/recorder

Works great. Plug and play. Fast loading. Use it to load imaging studies on my laptop.

Needed an optical drive for a new computer installation. This one was on sale and does a great job. Seems to be well made and easy to use, that is, it's plug and play. Windows 10 recognized the drive the moment I pugged it into the PC

light, easy to connect, portable, compatibility....
