    I've owned Dell products for years, but my new computer dosen't have a DVD/CD option. I'm a little old school and have a lot of data on DVDs. This drive is plug and play, no hassles. Works great and was affordable.

    I bought the Dell USB DVD drive because my laptop doesn't have a DVD drive AND this drive was on sale. This drive is small enough to fit in the carrying case of my laptop, and its weight is nearly negligible. The drive works as it should without any issues. The color is unobtrusive, and the build quality seems to be on par with most of Dell's products. The nice thing about this drive is that it doesn't need an external power supply. It draws power from the USB port. Having this USB DVD drive with me gives the flexibility of watching a movie on a DVD or recording data to a disc for use elsewhere. The fact that it weighs so little makes it easy to keep in the bag all the time.

    I needed an external drive and this was perfect for what I needed it to do. It's good for CDs and playing games. It's plug and Play. You don't have to install any bloatware or anything. If your computer doesn't have a DVD drive, it's a good addition. The price was too good to pass up.
