    Dell's optical drive was easy and quick to hook-up and use. Had it running in no time and loaded a couple of software programs on my system. Also, works great for DVD's.

    It is sometimes surprising in today's technology when you can plug something in and it works as designed without problems the first time. Hopefully it works the same the 2nd time.

    Works great with my MacBook Pro. I did go ahead and purchase a USB-C cable so I did not have to use an adapter cable.

    Idea was to move those CDs I couldn’t find on Apple Music into iTunes using this external drive. It is easy to use and worked perfectly!

    This is nice and very important for me as I have 2 in 1 computer and didn't have CD Drive. So i'm using this by connecting to USB. I liked very much and good choice.

    Most PC's these days do not come standard with a CD/DVD drive. This is a life saver if you need to use one. It is relatively quiet, works well, and a good price.

    Used this external drive to install software on new computer. Everything seemed to work great right out of the box with no glitches or problems. Plugged it in and it was ready to go.

    This is a perfect solution to my new laptop. This lets me connect up for those limited times I need CD/DVD access without having to deal with the bulk and weight of an internal drive.

    It uses one USB port, where my others required two USB port from PC. It is plug and play with Windows 10 and not slow at all. This is a quick fix for Surface user.

    performs as advertised. ive had it a few months with weekly not daily use. I don't know if it will last a long time or not. it was very inexpensive, so if it craps out, I'll look for a more heavy duty one.

    Nowadays slim laptops do not come with CD or DVD writer but still, some software or peripherals has CD installation required. In that light getting this drive helped me a lot rather than sulking or whining.

    Needed to re-install software that I only had on DVD. Purchased this to install software on a Dell laptop. No issues. Was straight-forward - just plug and play.
