    I purchased this drive to put favorite CD’s on my computer rather than rebuy them on ITunes. It is a much cheaper option. This has accomplished the purpose for which we purchased it.

    Previous DVD burner (different company) failed one too many times - replaced with this Dell and have had no problems since. Quiet, and works with both +W and +RW disks.

    Note: I've only used this to read CDs and DVDs. No writing at all. Its a functional drive when used on Windows for daily use. I haven't tested on MacOS. I haven't tried to run a Windows install from it. We have flash drives for that now. But if you have a stack of old burned CDs or DVDs that you need to transfer over to a hard drive or cloud storage, this'll do. It didn't get through some scratched discs so I had to get a scratch fixing tool. I'll update the review if a repaired disc doesn't work on this drive but does on a desktop drive.

    The build quality is very plasticky and cheap-feeling. But it does the job and is simply plug-and-play. No need to install the included software.
