OK DVD player as an external drive Posted by: from: on I bought this external drive DVD player soley to play movies on my laptop when traveling. The employee at time of purchased assured me that this work for that purpose. The DVD player worked great until the 30th day when I received a message that my 30 day trial period had expired. I didn't realize I had a 30 day trial period to play movies. And they wanted to charge me a minimum of $59.95 to download the required software. Prior to making this purchase I had to call my IT guy and he downloaded a free software program. The DVD player now works fine. This purchase was very misleading.

Great DVD/CD/RW! Posted by: from: on While cleaning my garage I ran across three boxes of old cd's (roughly 400). I decided they were worth the time to upload them to my music library; ...only to find that my old external DVD/CD RW driver was no longer supported by windows 7. I decided to give this product a chance - the price was great; plug & play on mac & pc. I no longer have much use for a disc r/w; but it fits nicely in my backpack; out of the way until the next happenstance. It takes up very little space; about as thin as my ipad. Anyway the project went great & I'm very happy with the purchase; and the new/old music!

Excellent external drive Posted by: from: on This is a great external drive. I bought it six months ago to use with my MacBook Pro Retina, which doesn't come with a DVD drive. I've used it to watch a few movies, rip music from CDs, and burn data to DVDs. I've even dropped it on the floor a few times and it's still working great. It's lightweight, so great for carrying around in a bag the few times I've had to do that. Definitely worth the money.

Great add on Posted by: from: on Retail market is phasing away CD/DVD and leaning towards streaming service, downloading programs and the inexpensive flash drive. For those that don't have a built in Cd/DVD drive on your laptop then this is the best solution for you. It's very slim and hides easily in the pockets of my bag pack. It's also durable and and nicely constructed so it appears that it can take a bit of a beating. I'm glad that its powered by the USB plug so that it doesn't need an external power cord to carry around.

Great external player Posted by: from: on When my daughter and I were looking for a new laptop for her to start college with we thought we had done a great job. But when we got it home we realized somehow we had chosen the one we didn't want because it didn't have a dvd/cd player. This is the third external player I have purchased for this and finally got a great one that is easy to take with her. Unlike the others this is very thin, quiet, and slips right into a pocket on her bag with little fuss. The other 2 really had to just sit in her desk and only get used at home even though they said portable. You needed a second bag for them.

Complictated Posted by: from: on It took me hours to get this device up and running. I had to add an additional program onto the computer just to get it work. The most aggravating experience. Made me wish I had bought a computer with a built-in dvd player. I only wanted to watch movies on the go. This device complicated things. and Is awkward when travelling.

Misleading external drive Posted by: from: on When purchasing the DVD player, it was never stated that you had to buy a $60.00 software program to run it. Not realizing this, it seemed to work fine until my "30 day free trial period" expired. Now will not play a DVD on my laptop (the whole point of the purchase) until I buy their software program at a minimum of $59,95

Good exterior DVD drive Posted by: from: Niles, MI on I would say that this drive is good for what we are using it for. However the software that comes with it requires another license instead of being part of the purchase price of the drive. I refused to pay the license fee for the software as it would not let you burn a cd without the upgrade. I went back to my old standby media player to burn cd's I would recommend the drive just not the software.

Adequate But Below Expectations Posted by: from: Cutler Bay on The product seems to function as first generation new technology, although CD writing has been around for decades. I was disappointed, I am a big LG fan but this product was average, it made noises, it took a minute for it to open up. I feel I could have bought this product 10 years ago and would have gotten same results. Pay a bit more and for for the top of the line product if you are in need of a writer.

Not compatible with Windows 10 Posted by: from: on Do not buy this product if you hope to use it with a Surface Pro 3 using Windows 10. It won't work. I called LG tech support and they do not know if/when it will be compatible with 10.
