Is this suitable for a inspiron 15/5518 laptopnplease

I don't have any experience of using an Inspiron but if it has a USB port then this drive should work with it okay.

Does anyone know whether this will work with a Surface Pro 6?

That would depend on what the USB voltage / current limits were on the Surface Pro. I run mine via one of the USB3.0 ports on a Dell Laptop. Unless M/S have put limits on their Surface USB ports, I don't see why it wouldn't work, but I make no guarantees of course

My dvd drive on the laptop was disabled by downloading windows 8 (driver removed from registry) will this work without the missing driver?

Hi It is plug and play device so I think yes. I recommend to update version on windows to avoid disappointment. Hope it help

Will this disc drive work with XPS 9710 model?

I have a 7390 and it works fine, no setup issues at all. Connects with a USBC, I can't see any reason why it would not work with a 9710, but I have no direct hands-on knowledge.

Worth its weight in Gold ⚱️

I bought this DVD drive after watching a video by Adam Taylor otherwise known as EposVox on YouTube discussing the importance and means of preserving data for the purpose of archiving. My main purpose for the usage of this drive is to backup copies of my PS2 games to ISO files which has worked flawlessly with IMGBURN (my writing software of choice) 🎮📀💻 If or when this drives eventually gives up the ghost on me I’ll definitely be purchasing another one in a heartbeat. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ For point of reference I use a laptop when it comes to creating backups with the following specifications: ASUS ROG Strix GL702V. CPU: Intel Core i7-6700 HQ RAM: 16GB GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 OS: Windows 10

Works well, but a bit of a lightweight.

Good value for money. Light and easily transported. Appears to work well. The lightweight construction does make this drive seem rather flimsy.

Dell external cd drive

This drive works as you would expect. It is functional without any gimmicks. It takes up table space next to the laptop which some times is inconvenient. It would have been nice if the laptop had it built in but now-a-says that is not often the case.

Worked first time

No need to use the CD supplied for software as I just plugged it in and it played first time on my Dell Inspiron laptop. REally pleased as previous purchase, which was much cheaper, was mechanically faulty and never worked.

Dell External Slim Optical Disc Drive

The Dell slimline DVD R/W optical disc drive was extremely easy to set up with my LG Laptop. It was basically plug and play, as LG uses the same operating software as Dell. It's excellent quality, lightweight, and comes with a USB-A connector for the laptop input. I purchased it from Amazon because of the excellent pricing.
