Best Buy Offers Dell USB External Drive for DVDs and CDs at Almost Free to Revive Your Old Files and Movies
Computer manufacturers may have cut bait on the CD and DVD as useful devices, but we haven't, and neither has Dell. Their DW316 Slim External USB drive reads and writes DVDs and CDs, and if you still have a stack of discs lying around with great files, music, movies, or games on them, it's well worth the $30 you'll need to spend at Best Buy for this ultra-thin plug-and-play drive.
Those movies, albums, games, and other software sitting in your house in CD or DVD form aren't going to be compatible with any new PC laptop or desktop computer, simply because manufacturers have stopped including optical drives in their new models. But the Dell DW316 Slim External USB drive is an inexpensive plug-and-play solution that will save your discs and files from obsolescence.

Don't Be Left Behind
Tech evolution is inevitable and tends to move extremely quickly. But while the early forms of storage like floppy discs were limited by size and usually held either word processing documents or old software that was rendered obsolete by newer operating systems, the CD and DVD could hold anything from precious home movies that were moved over from film to those cult-classic movies and albums that you just can't find in any of the streaming services.
The Dell DW316 Slim External USB drive can read all of those optical formats, and for PC users running Windows from version 7 up, it's purely plug and play. It draws its power directly from your computer, so there's no power adapter. It reads and writes at 8x speed (6x for DVD-RWs), and since it runs with a USB 2.0 interface, it may be even faster than the optical drives that used to come built into laptops and desktops.
Slim Is In
The Dell DW316 won't come at the expense of precious desk space either, since it's a mere 5.7 by 5.4 inches, barely over a half-inch thick, and weighs less than half a pound. The 24-inch USB cord gives you the freedom to place it wherever you like.
Even if you're just needing to move those disc-bound files to something more permanent, like a cloud service or a multi-gigabyte external drive, the modest $30 price of the Dell DW316 Slim External USB drive during this Best Buy sale is a worthwhile price to pay to safeguard your older files and personal treasures and ensure they don't become victims of tech evolution.
