    Great product as expected from this manufacturer. Easy squeasy setup and Jimmy John's style of delivery. Up and running faster than a Jackalope with a coyote on his tail. Trying to get enough characters in this review. Hoping everyone is pleased. Highly recommended item.

    I can only rate this on my expectations at the moment. I haven't used this yet. I will be purchasing a new laptop and have a few programs and files on CD/DVD. I don't want to limit myself and felt this was the best option to add so I can utilize my present resources and grow from there.

    Just plug in and use using a USB port. Very easy to set up. For the low price it is worth it even with today’s technology being so beyond drives anymore.

    I originally had an LG external DVD player but the dell option was so much better for my computer. Runs smoothly and is easy to set up. Great price and amazing service with Best Buy. I recommend getting the 2 year plan with Best Buy in case anything happens.

    I had to upgrade my computer recently and got an all in one. Unfortunately, it didn't have a cd/DVD drive so I purchased this one. It's a Dell so I expected quality and got it. If youvneed an external drive, I suggest this one.

    Very light, plastic unit that works well. No installation procedures. If you get a newer laptop (no dvd drive) this is a nice option. Sooner or later you will need to access something and this will save your bacon.
