    I was concerned when I figured out that most new laptops do not have DVD/CD drives. I have pictures and music still on CD's and DVD's. This device is a life saver and easy to install and use!

    Bought this for my son to use with his new college laptop, which didn't have an internal cd/DVD drive. Uses it to watch movies and listen to music cds. Very inexpensive and easy to use. So far works great for his needs.

    With the purchase of a new laptop and digital taking over, this drive is exactly what I need to keep my old discs. The product itself feels very nice and durable. The plug and play made using the product a breeze. Thanks Dell

    This drive works well, however, there were no instructions available to explain how to copy to a disc. The included software was very slow with respect to downloading. It was not intuitive as to its functions and there was insufficient Help with respect to how to use it.
