Awesome Awesome
I bought it on June 2020 and this is Nov 2023... 3+ yes and it still works fine. PS: As nowadays, we don't use DVDs. But today I needed to copy some old movies which are unable on the internet. And Dell DVD writer was just keep unattached. And it worked just fine as expected. Dell>LG. Thank You. I normally don't write reviews... more of a Live Stream kind of guy on my Channel KING GAMER 8K on YouTube. But thought to give my 2 cents. Ciao

Don't make a mistake of buying this from Amazon
While I have been an old customer of Amazon and usually like its services, for this particular product I would say don't make a mistake of buying it from Amazon. The product itself is good, no issues with that however Dell outright denied any warranty for this. Before purchasing I had read similar reviews saying that the product does not come with a Service Tag, something which is mandatory for all Dell products if you want Warranty or other Support for it. And since I could not see this anywhere on the box packaging or product itself, Dell completely denied any warranty for it. For products with Warranty, Amazon allows you to download a Warranty Slip once the delivery is done. But in this case I saw that only Packaging Slip was available, and nothing on Warranty. The invoice itself does not mention anything about warranty. I spent hours with Dell to understand if I could get the warranty but it didn't help. Similarly Amazon customer care also could not confirm any warranty support. Clearly this is something I didn't want so I initiated a refund for this. If you don't care about warranty then plz go ahead and buy it here, otherwise don't buy.

No Warranty - That is a Surprise
Plug Na play. As slow as it were running in Win 95. Lucky to find it not to be a vibrator on desk, or a noisy one wasting energy on noise rather than read/write. Not yet had an opportunity to write, but it came with a CyberLink installation CD. It took about 15 mins or longer to instal. The machines I have are pretty fast and latest.

New computers no longer come with optical drives. This leaves me in a difficult situation as I buy CDs to download to my ITunes library. Problem solved with this little gem. I plugged it into my new Lenovo desktop (two foot USB cable supplied). Slipped in a disc. No formatting. ITunes recognized the CD immediately. Do I wish to import? Yes. And the rest is history as they say. Simple. Perfect. Thank you, Dell.
