    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
