    Hard to beat the price and it works just like it's supposed to. Was going to get a different laptop just because it included optical drive but was bigger and heavier, so glad I went this route.

    Needed a disc drive for my laptop as modern one don’t come with them anymore. It was an easy plug and play drive and quickly read my dvd movies.

    performed perfectly; solved my lots of audio CDs and old DVDs and no drive on the laptop issue. Probably could have gotten similar item for less, but this unit seems solid & reliable.

    I had tried other brands of external dvd drives for my msi laptop, but kept having compatibility issues. The Dell dvd drive worked like a charm, first time. Absolutely no issues, whisper quiet, exactly what I was looking for. Two thumbs way up!

    I recently got a laptop without a disc drive and wanted something primarily for uploading my old cd collection because I am a dinosaur. That is all that I've used it for so far but it has worked perfectly. No issues at all.

    I have a customize gaming mid-tower, most of the mid-size tower doesn’t have slot for the internet cd-rom drive. Pretty much, every is mostly digital. Still, I needed for something.

    I upgraded my Dell laptop and now no cd drive. Needed to upload and install old software and this external cd drive works great for that. Have not burned any cd's yet so can't review on that. Much less expensive than buying all new software!
