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.

Very nice. Although I can only rate it 4 stars since blue ray wasn’t supported. Despite it coming up as the first result when i searched blue ray.

Plugged it in to my laptop and was up and running in no time. Worked great for what I was doing.

If you need an external disk drive., this is the one great and very easy to install.

Excellent thin dvd player, does exactly what you want it to play a dvd, plus comes wit excellent software.

Perfect for what I needed. easy to use slim and doesn't take up much space

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.

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.

Very compact and small. Easy to install and operate

It does work as described. Fast and with great quality.

good cd/dvd drive for loading software and burning dvds for home movies -pc did not come loaded with this drive - simple plug in the usb port to use - did not need electrical outlet

It’s a good product, very fast and reliable. It has a good price compared to other products.

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

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.

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.

THIS IS A GOOD PRODUCT WITH THE NEW COMPUTERS THAT DO NOT HAVE DVD BUILT IN THEM.

We used this recently on a client visit and it worked perfectly on a Mac and Linux machines seamlessly. No drivers, plug and play.

Laptop didn't have one so this helps transfer old pics & programs.

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.
