Customer Ratings & Reviews

This product works how its supposed to. It backs up all of my important files whenever I shut my computer down for the evening. Not much more to report. It is small and portable however I only use it on my desktop. Seems to be working just fine. It's pretty much plug and play especially since I had the Geek Squad set it up on my new computer. Thanks for reading and I hope it was helpful to you.

While I may be living in the past I occasionally need a dvd drive as I have older documents and pictures on DVD. I also still transfer music from dvd to my computer. This does the trick. Not fast but acceptable.

Fast delivery - works great, just plug and play. Reasonable price. The only drawback is it doesn't play Blu-rays.

Awesome little device. Plug and play my dvd on my computer. Perfect for when I need it unit.

Plug & play...space saving device that's simple and at a great price.

With external CD/DVD drives becoming scarce and no longer standard on most new computers, I couldn’t pass up the chance to grab this Dell USB Slim DVD+/-RW Drive for just $20. It’s a reliable brand, supports M-Disc, and is perfect for anyone who still prefers DVD backups like me. At this price, I even bought a spare to keep in storage for future use. Simple, functional, and a great deal for a quality product!

Nice portable cd/dvd witter, a little bit noisy but its get the job done. Got it during the thanks giving sale and for the price i paid for, its a steal! If you need an external cd dvd writter this is highly recommeded.

My fellow mediocre artists and I have decided to resurrect the lost art of mixtapes and homebrewed albums. Although Soundcloud, Spotify, Audiomack, Bandcamp and frankly any other streaming service offers ease of use, AI curations, and a wide audience, there is something surreal/special about holding a physical copy of your audio art that makes it feel more alive (literally tangible). And because internal disc drives are a thing of the past on the current generation of laptops, I found myself in need of an external drive with CD burning capabilities. The Dell DW316 does the trick with my 2019 Thinkpad X1 Yoga 4th Gen. There was practically no install time and it was up in running almost as soon as I plugged it in. This shiny plastic box has a decent price compared to other brands. If you're looking for something to burn your childhood fantasies onto, you've found it. I imagine the other uses advertised work but I have yet to try them hence the 4-Star rating.

The Del- USB DVD/RW Drive- Plug and Play is extremely convenient. The price for this item is great and it is easily compatible if you need to carry it around to use with your laptop or other USB-compatible devices. It doesn't get hot like most disk drives after being used for a while. It comes with a USB cord that connects to the disk drive. This is also great and is compatible with all/most desktop computers and devices. I purchased one to play DVDs and play disk games on my desktop Dell-Microsoft 24" Touchscreen All-In-One desktop computer and it works well with that as well as my MacBook Air. I highly recommend this product.

The Dell USB Slim DVD Drive is easy to install and use. The product comes with a USB Cable which you connect one end to the drive and the other end to a USB port on your computer. Once it is connected to your computer it is ready to use. The product also comes with a DVD that has Cyberlink Media Suite which you can install on your computer. This drive is very quiet and burns DVDs nicely.

This is just about the best deal I could find on an external optical drive, and I've always trusted Dell quality, and this one doesn't disappoint. Even though it's only USB 2.0, it's fast and quiet, and I'll expect years of service from it (but seldom will I use it).

DVDs and CDs are nearly obsolete, so most modern computers (rightfully so) don't have optical drives of any kind. This is a quiet, plug & play DVD drive/burner for the instance when you need to read or write a CD or DVD on a PC that doesn't have one. I got these at a great price for store pickup and they have worked perfect since. Nice to have on hand.

Easiest setup and use ever. Just plug and play, it's that simple. Almost feels like your a tech guy!

I needed a DVD drive for my Lenovo laptop to load the TurboTax disc and figured it would also be handy to have to access the many photos I have on DVDs. I didn't want to spend a fortune for something that would only be used intermittently. This was basically plug and play, with no complications whatever, and at a good price. I ordered online, picked up at the store and was able to start working on my taxes the same day.

I like this item, especially now that we dont have cd or dvd ports on our laptops and computers anymore. Its easy to transport with and slim enough to fit into my laptop pouch.

As the title states, We had to make a choice between Ram or a CD-RW when purchasing Our Dell computer so We chose Ram. This is the same CD-RW as is typically installed in most Dell computers today. We decided to purchase the external version, which is a plug-n-play via USB. Out of the box, We plugged it in and was immediately recognized by the computer OS. No issues, works as designed. Will use to store, and create playlists of My music collection. I still use CD's, and stream. Would recommend for purchase, and use.

I did not want to purchase the turbotax software download and my new laptop that does not have a cd drive. This dell usb slim dvd drive allowed me to easily install and use my turbotax software that I purchased on a cd. This portable cd drive purchase was awesome, it has allowed me to use my new laptop without a cd drive with other cds and I do not miss not having the drive on the laptop. Allowing the new technology to work with the old technology is great. Love this product.

Bought a new PC that doesn't have a CD-Rom. Needed to install some Windows software on CD's that I have used over the years. The Dell plug and play Drive worked perfectly with Windows 11. Fair price also.

Purchased a New HP Laptop which didn't come with an internal Disc Drive. Seems the majority of them now are lacking this feature! Needed to load some software on the new laptop that was on Disc and didn't want to spend a ton of money since this was going to be a one time use of the product for this purpose. The Laptop had Windows 11 installed on it. Plugged the drive in and use it to load the software with no issues at all! Very good price at BB for the drive!

The disk drive I got is good! It wasn’t difficult to set up, runs quickly, and so far has worked great. It has run multiple old disks of games from childhood that were a bit scratched up, I was impressed. The only minor issue I have with it is that it’s quite loud (I checked the temperature, it wasn’t getting hot).
