    I was a little surprised when my new laptop did not have a slot to read a dvd for new software. This inexpensive reader solved my problem. It is very light weight and very easy to use.

    I bought this to install a game I received as a gift because I did not have a disk drive in my pc. This was a very convenient option that allowed me to achieve my goal without having to install and connect an internal disk drive.

    I miss internal CD/Internal drives. However, this product does the job. I am a bit old school. While I will download software and so on, I also like the option of using disks to install software or play movies or music. This product does the job.

    Works perfectly, and I have no issues at all. A longer cord would be nice, but the cord length is definitely sufficient.

    This DVD drive does what it claims at an affordable price. It comes with software that could help you use the drive, but personally I rather use a different choice of software with this drive.

    I needed an exterior CD player. I have many CDs of family photos and this worked seamlessly. I'm glad I can get equipment to use all my "old" ways.

    I didn't realize until I brought the two Computers home, since I purchased to identical PCs; But that is when I realized that there was no DVD Drive on the Computer, so I had to go back to Best Buy and purchase an External DVD Drive.

    Although I wish my new laptop had a DVD/CD drive, I was happy with this Dell separate player. I think it will serve all my purposes well.
