Customer Ratings & Reviews

Many computers - laptop & desktop - now come without a DVD/CD read/write drive. Thus, to use DVD's or CD's, you need an external player. This Dell unit woks exceptionally well and is plug-and-ply, just as advertised.

Good product, works as advertised and able to run the video we needed.

It installed really easy no software need and it work great I was very happy

This was exactly what I needed for the laptop I purchased. I wanted to be able to install software off of a cd and this was just what I needed. Since some laptops don't come with a disk drive included this is a easy to use fix to adapt those laptops that don't include a disk drive.

At a certain point, you'll need some sort of CD reader if your PC doesn't have one. Whether it's an old program, game, or if you just want to watch a DVD or download old songs, it's great. You'll barely know it's there, just plug in and you're set.

Even though it didn't specifically come with bluray software - only with something called a BD advisor - the Cyberlink PowerDVD software can play blurays, thankfully. The only issue I seem to have now is that my computer doesn't always recognize the drive as plugged in when I start up, so I have to sometimes unplug and replug it to get the drive recognized. Otherwise, I haven't had a problem.

This USB portable dvd drive works great on my computer without a CD/USB drive.

Dell USB Slim DVD RW Drive is very easy to use I had several CD's I wanted to copy to my computer and iPod all simple took a couple of days and I had them all copied to my computer and iPod. A great addition to my home.

No brainer - easy to use, good value for the money

Works well with my laptop. Good deal on the price. Functions as expected.

I purchased this Dell DVD/CD-RW because my new laptop didn't include the DVD/CD-RW. This product works wonderfully. I was able to upload my music CD's and watch a DVD movie. If anyone is looking for a External- USB -Drive; this would be the product you want to own.

Works great and havent had any issues. Glad I bought this

Excellent item.. works well with what I needed to complete my project.

This is a excellent product, I definitely recommend it.

Had to buy a new CD drive for my laptop since mine was broken. Went with this one since it's small, burns CDs, and at a good price of $20 at the time. It's straight to the point too. Just plug it in and go.The burner is fast, quiet, and highly recommended.

I needed an external hard drive for my HP Spectre laptop computer. After doing some research I chose this Dell external hard drive. It was easy to set up and has worked flawlessly. Also, it came with a cable. Not all external hard drives I researched come with a cable to attach to your computer.

I paid approximately 35.00 for this device. It comes with a USB cable and plugs right into my notebook; allowing me to play DVD's (not Blu Ray's) on my 2-1. No issues noted. Plug and play just pick the disk, hit the Eject button, push tray back into player and watch the movie. Cheap and easy. Thanks.

Honestly dident believe that i would be plug and pla! Usually you have to download a bunch of junk and it takes forever - but it worked great with no extra steps

I always missed the CD RW drive in new laptops. Even though use of CDs is reduced but it is still a "Nice to have" item for occasional use. I have 3 laptops at my home and none of them had a disk drive. Best buy had an amazing discount on this one when I purchased a laptop and was totally worth it.

Most computers today don't have a DVD/CD drive attached so I had to purchase this. Very easy to set up. It includes a disk to aid in the installation, but you don't really need it since its automatic upon set up. Just plug, load and play. Also very quiet when reading discs.
