    Great addition to my new Best Buy computer, just the right size to view work on information from my Cd's.

    I'm so pleased with this Dell DVD+/RW which is a neat, compact little plug and play product. It grieved me to not be able to play some of my favorite CD's on my new computer and now I'm happy again!

    I needed to retrieve data from some DVDs, but my laptop does not have a DVD reader. I saw this online. It is definitely plug and play, very simple to use, and reasonably priced. And I am happy that I got my data back.

    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!

    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.

    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

    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!

    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.

    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".

    Meh. I have to put a weight on top of the usb drive DVD- cd drive. When it gets up to speed it vibrates so badly that a weight is a must , or the cd drive will slow down then stop because of how badly the vibration occurs. For the price, again, meh. It’s okay. If your short on cash and your laptop doesn’t have internal drive, which it should, then this contraption is satisfactory.
