Excellent way to rip or burn CDs
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nowadays alot of laptops dont come with CDs or DVDs players/burners anymore. This was a great way to continue to rip my CDs and/or burn them if needed. It plugs in with a simple USB and is super easy to use! Love it!

Works quick
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Instructions are almost non-existent but it does not matter as it is really plug and play. Not sure I'd install the free cd that comes with it. You have to purchase some of the programs. But the cd reader works great.

Works as advertised
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used this to load-up over 500 photos-both Raw and Jpeg- with no issues. It worked like champ. When running a video tutorial disc it did make some serious speed noise, cycling on and off. It suits my needs. I use it with an ASUS 2-in-1.

Exactly what I wanted
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When my laptop onboard DVD/CD player stopped operating, my first action was to see what was available at Best Buy. I ordered online and picked up the new DVD/CD player less than one hour later. It was operational less than one minute after plugging it into USB port.

Lightweight
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to use, portable. Plays the discs easily. I don't really have fifty words for a portable disc drive. This requirement should be reviewed if you really want feedback. Only twenty nine words. Oh well, what more can I say. The price was reasonable. It was recommended by the Geek squad tech

Solid Dell

Very Nice, Close To A Five Star.....
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.OK, I have only had this about a week ad have not tried "everything". But as of this point I can say it plays CD, CDR, DVD, CDROM & DVDROM great with no issues. About the only thing I have not tried is burning discs. I mainly got this for installing my older games that are on DVDROM. I did play a couple CDs, CDRs & DVD and also works great. Very simple to set up even for a LOW-TECH old goat like me !!! The device itself seems to be nicely built and solid but still light weight and so when inserting a disc you might need to hold the unit with your other hand. The only thing I would change is the kinda short USB card. If it was a little longer this would be a FIVE star hands down, As with most major brands these days, DELL might not have actually made this and simply contracts other manufatures to make for them but even so whoever actually made this did a great job and build it solid.
