    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.

    Since all our new computers and laptops come without a DVD drive this was a MUST buy! It is super easy to use and works great. Very helpful for anyone who still needs CD and DVD functionality.

    This has worked great for us. No having to download programs in order to run this. Just plug and play. The only downside I can find with it so far is that it is a little noisy, but other than that nothing else.

    I purchased a new computer, which did not have a DVD drive. I wanted to have a back up to my computer other than the Cloud. So I went with this external DVD, to have as additional method to protect my pictures and to sometimes play a movie video when I am traveling
