    Had to buy this after realizing my new laptop did not have a CD/DVD player. Works fine. Easy to use, small and thin enough to pack and travel with. Haven't used in a while, but I don't think there's any light indicator to show its on/connected/working. Thus 4 not 5 stars.

    No problems. Just plug and use. It would be nice if they added networking capability to a low cost unit like this one. I tried attaching it to USB ports on my printer but it was not visible. Hence, it's only available to the unit to which it is directly plugged into unless I've missed a unique case.

    Not much to say beyond the headline. I bought this for use with a new laptop (ultrabook) that did not include a built-in optical drive. It replaced an old external optical drive that I frankly did not take good care of. I've used this to install software that I only have available on DVDs, and I did so without issue.

    When I received it even though I had read the specs, was amazed at how thin it is. Plugged it in and was up and running! Files started flying! I spot checked the files and didn't find any errors.

    I gave this DVD drive a 4 out of 5 stars mainly because even though the drive works as expected it is pretty slow, however for the price you cant beat the deal. This drive is great to use if you have a table with a USB port and you need to install a disc or something. It was used on a MS Surface tablet and it worked without a hitch. I would recommend this to a friend since is practical, inexpensive and a good bargain for the money.

    Ill be honest, I wanted the Dell version that was supposedly in stock, but the employee seemed uninterested in searching for it elsewhere besides the shelf & although I was aware of this one & sale price, I wanted to stay within Dell as I have a new Dell 2-in-1. Well I wasn;t disappointed! Great device!

    I bought this in conjunction with an HP Slim for my daughter. The HP does not have a DVD/CD driver included. The only issue thus far, is that it won't work with the software included with the HP Slim; one must download VLC Media Player program to open the CD driver. Once that is done you are go to go.
