    Very easy set up—just plug and play because I already had video software on my computer. This is a replacement for the built-in drive on my hp computer.

    The Dell USB Slim DVD is really very compact, and we like the quick response times. It was less expensive at Best Buy than ordering from Dell website.

    I have a great collection of classic rock on vinyl. I still like to listen to CDs in my truck and can transfer that music to my desk top dell and burn to a CD with this player/writer. Most newer PCs and computers don't have a DVD drive anymore so this is a great solution to play or record some of your older media. Great performance and price. Plug in, load the software and you are good to go

    Needed a new tower for music. Easy purchase, support was great all through purchase and the Geeks were very professional and helpful. They even set it up very quickly and efficiently and took care of our old tower.Now we turn it on and instantly we are moving forward. The price was decent and we are members so we had a discount!

    This is a good value external DVD drive that you can connect to your laptop's USB-A port. Very easy to use. Quality is average and it should last a while as long as you don't drop it on the floor. Includes Media Suite 12 software. A great buy especially if you can get it on sale.
