Review: 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.

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 **Q: My dvd drive on the laptop was disabled by downloading windows 8 (driver removed from registry) will this work without the missing driver?** A: Hi It is plug and play device so I think yes. I recommend to update version on windows to avoid disappointment. Hope it help **Q: Will this disc drive work with XPS 9710 model?** A: 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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth its weight in Gold ⚱️ *by B***S on 9 April 2024* 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.

Light and easily transported. Appears to work well. The lightweight construction does make this drive seem rather flimsy. ## Frequently Bought Together - Dell USB Slim DVD +/- RW Drive DW316 - Plug and Play, 8 Watt Power Consumption, Windows 11 or below - Black - Logitech Wireless Combo MK270 - Anker USB Hub 4 Ports, Multiple USB 3.0 Hub, USB Splitter for Laptop, Extender for A Port Laptop, PC, Desktop and More [Charging Not Supported](2ft USB-A) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fi/products/60743095-usb-dvd-drive-dw316-black](https://www.desertcart.fi/products/60743095-usb-dvd-drive-dw316-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Finland* *Store origin: FI* *Last updated: 2026-08-15*
