Easy to set up and hook up to TV. Good value for price.

works well since we have recently replaced laptops and did not pay attention that they no longer come with cd/dvd

i have a tablet / computer but it doesnt have cd drive and this gave me option to have it and still be on the go as i was but still easy to move and install by plugging up usb to device works on anything love this gadget

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!

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.

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.

Excellent design, color, sound quality and ease of usage

Works great. Easy to use. Very compact. Comes with everything you need.

Like that the disk drive is compact and lightweight

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.

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

The Dell external USB slim DVD optical drive was very easy to install on my 8-year-old laptop.

This Dell DVD/RW drive is a great product at a great price.

Excellent design, quality and delivered as promised, thank you !

I like this unit for its small size and ease of use.

Bought three of these units, one for myself and daughters. The writing was on the wall that internal cd/dvd writers are going the way of the dodo. Putting mine away to be able to play cd/dvd's in the future. In a years time because of the solid state media they won't be available.

I had to get this to do work and I was so thankful Best Buy had these. Easy plug and use

Perfect external usb dvd/cd drive. Ease of use is excellent.

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.

This item is needed if you purchase a newer laptop since newer laptops don't usually come with a built in DVD / CD Rom Drive. If you have any discs that need read or burned, you need one of these external drives to perform those tasks. This external drive is working great and does what it is designed to do.
