I tested this on both Yosemite and Sierra, and yes, it works. However, you need to insert a disc into the drive to mount it. As you can see, I tested it on Sierra with USB-controlled and Apple has begun to use the smaller ports found on newer Macbooks Pros (2017 and forward). The USB drive I used was a I can connect my PC to my USB drive To do so, you will need an adapter. I found it to be a good solution.
As a matter of fact, it is a USB 2 cable, not a USB Although, the drive speed should not be an issue because it's the limiting factor here. A study of reading and writing Writing CDs and writing software In comparison, Blu-Ray disks) are slow enough to waste USB 3's high data rates.

Selected User Reviews For Dell USB DVD Drive-DW316 , Black
Please take care! In order to prevent warranty claims if the item is purchased here, Dell has designed their phone system and trained their reps to block warranty claims. It is required that the claim has a "Service Tag Number" otherwise Dell will not accept it. Amazon does not provide this number on products purchased directly from them. You will not be able to use the serial number, nor will any of the typical proofs. You will get a lot of contradictory excuses as described below, and you will spend lots of time trying to solve the problem without success. I had to file a warranty claim after only six months and a dozen uses when the DVD Tray would spring open and not stay closed. I called Dell and they told me I needed a special number that only Amazon had, and that I would need to call Amazon and give them my Amazon Order Number, so that they could give me this special, behind the scenes number that tracked the Dell-Amazon transaction. It is DECEPTION! The idea, as I suspected, has never been heard of at Amazon. The only thing that should be required are the serial number and the purchase receipt. Within the next phone call, Dell informed me that I could not buy a Dell product from Amazon legally because it was illegal. Once again, you lied! Dell has a contract with Amazon, according to the company. The last time we spoke with Dell, we were told that Amazon was responsible for Warranty Coverage. A new lie was told. As long as the warranty is still valid, the Manufacturer is responsible for warranty claims. They deliberately rob Amazon customers who purchase a product from them of the right to claim a warranty. BEWARE! You purchase at your own risk!.
AMAZON IS NOT THE BEST PLACE TO BUY FROM. Despite Dell's commitment to honoring warranties, it does not. It took me a long time to learn, what so many other people warned me about. I found this external hard drive to be of poor quality and it A two-year limited warranty will not be honored by Dell! DELL does not provide a service tag number for this product, and when I contacted Customer Care, that was all they were interested in, and they kept bouncing me around from department to department. When you contact Amazon, they refer you to Dell, while Dell refers you to Responsibility is something no one wants to accept. You could also purchase this product directly from Dell, so that you will at least have one with a numbered service tag. As well as having a lot of red tape, the drive itself has a plastic outer shell and is flimsy, so you can't drop it onto.
To begin with, let me say I have a 2 The year is It is an old Intel Core I-based Asus computer A nice MSI G610 laptop that runs and operates windows 10 smoothly. However, the software that came with the laptop didn't work and every CD that I placed in it after that had an improved 360-degree quality. Right in the center, there is a degree scratch. It's extremely loud and you can literally hear the CD scraping inside. Also, it feels like it should be $2 at a flea market. I do not care how it looks or sounds, but if you do, this is a piece of sh**. I just wanted to give future shoppers a heads up about this. In the case of this item, I think buying the cheapest one would be better since that's what it is. So, I'd suggest spending more money on a name brand, but you'd be better off getting the cheapest one.
The CD player will play music CDs, but it will not read data DVDs for COREL DRAW installations. That was such a disappointment! Despite everything, it continues to grind But it will not read the disc as it grinds and grinds. (My MacBook pro with an internal drive reads the disc perfectly. ) I had bypassed a dozen other odd-looking discs before finding this one. The name of DELL was preferred over other brands.
I hoped this Dell DVD player would be as outstanding as my Dell Inspiron 15 7000 laptop, especially since I bought my first external DVD player A claim was filed against the 0) which turned out to be defective. There was a similar problem with the Dell DW316 External USB Slim DVD Every 1 second, a scratching sound can be heard. Does the company that manufactures them share the same manufacturing process? As a result, this item has been returned and I'm looking for another external DVD player.
The camera was purchased about a year and a half ago, and I used it only occasionally The total number of times may be 10 or more. The camera is kept in a padded case, where it is safe from damage. I am a courteous and This tray suddenly will not close, so it can't be used. The book is an absolute piece of junk, and I have to say I am rather surprised it is.
Having bought this device new with my Dell machine, it stopped working after 18 months of use. I replaced it less than 8 months ago and it stopped working. The book is hardly moved from its place of residence, so it hasn't been moved very often. Does insanity consist of doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result? That is exactly what I do. A third one was purchased in anticipation of getting warranty coverage on the broken replacement. It broke within a record two days of its purchase. It has been 5 months since I started. This item cannot be returned to Amazon if it has been 30 days since it was delivered and Dell's website is incomprehensible when it comes to pursuing a PLEASE NEITHER BUY THIS PRODUCT NOR USE IT. There is no use for it. As proof, I have three devices that are broken.
I can accomplish what I need to do with it (i. e. The disc is not a DVD The tasks that can be performed with R). It is also available as model 5378), which is a 13 inch two-piece Both run Windows 10 as the operating system. DW316 does not have an optical drive, so I bought the Dell DW316 External USB Slim DVD R/W Optical Drive 429-4971 to complete the purchase. I connected the optical drive to the USB 3 port on the Inspiron, and it worked as it should. Upon inserting the drive into the USB 3. 0 jack, the PC detected it automatically and started using it. When I received the optical drive, I immediately tested it using the things I need to do with one, A manufactured audio CD, an audio CD that has been burned, an audio CDR that has been ripped to MP3, a DVD which has been manufactured, a CDR that has been burned, and an installation program from a CDR are the tasks listed below A CDR consists of writing files, copying files to its surface, and reading files off it. It is important to note that I did not test things that I do not need to, including A DVD is burned, files are copied, and a DVD is viewed Is there an easy way to read files from a DVD-R Despite my lack of measurement, the unit I received is quiet and seems to run at a decent speed. The only thing I have to complain about is the cost of $32. It costs around $25 to buy optical drives similar to those made by Samsung, etc.
