    Just popped in the CD and it took about 5 minutes to install. Played well, a couple burps during play but not sure if that was the player or the program. Didn't like the ad for upgrade and latest upgrade that popped up...why is it always the case? That's the only bummer so far, otherwise it would have been 5 stars.

    Dell-USB Slim DVD+/-RW Drive - Plug and Play

    The Del- USB DVD/RW Drive- Plug and Play is extremely convenient. The price for this item is great and it is easily compatible if you need to carry it around to use with your laptop or other USB-compatible devices. It doesn't get hot like most disk drives after being used for a while. It comes with a USB cord that connects to the disk drive. This is also great and is compatible with all/most desktop computers and devices. I purchased one to play DVDs and play disk games on my desktop Dell-Microsoft 24" Touchscreen All-In-One desktop computer and it works well with that as well as my MacBook Air. I highly recommend this product.

    I bought this so that I could install a Printmaster program on my Netbook since I loved using it on my OLD xp computer. Then I found out I can put all of my CD music onto the new computer and what a joy to be able to listen to Kenny G while writing my letter or checking the email!

    Very easy to use (Prior to installing I watched a quick video on youtube). I really did not have to watch the video and I believe I would not have any issues with installation. It's really as simple as "plug and play".

    It's very lightweight, and slim. But it does everything you need it to do - considering most Laptops now don't have CD drives, it has proved to be really helpful!

    No problems with this unit. Did exactly what I needed it for. I purchased it with the new HP All in One desk top in order to load some of my software which are still on disk. Worked absolutely perfectly.

    It is lite and compact. The DVD drive runs smooth and quiet. Not much more to say than it performs as expected for a good price.

    This simple CD/DVD peripheral drive is a plug & play USB peripheral accessory that functions as intended. The very lightweight case is a bit awkward to handle, but for the intended task of allowing occasional transfers of files to/from my Surface PC and disk media, it is entirely satisfactory.

    Most laptops thesr days don't came with a CD/DVD drive. This fills that need. Easy to use. Many uses of this for both CD's and DVD's. Love being able to transfer old discs to my laptop.

    Alot of desktops or laptops don't come with drives. Not surprising, so this little external drive works great! Inexpensive, and does the job without any loud noises or lag. It served a purpose and now will sit quietly on a shelf until it is, once again, called back into service.
