Q: Can an external DVD player / hard drive be used with this to watch movies?
A: Yes. I just purchased a LG - 8x External USB 2.0 Blu-ray Disc Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Disc Rewriter - Black (Model: BP50NB40) from Best Buy and worked fine. I plugged it into the USB port and recognize the LG external device immediately. I had zero issues when I plugged it into my ASUS ROG Strix GL702VIWB74 Laptop. I was able to install several software packages without any problems.The only software you will need to install to watch movies is PowerDVD 17 media player for PCs by Cyberlink (just a recommendation). A link is provided below for convenience. Good luck and enjoy. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=19&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjm_r_8xunZAhVpllQKHcb0CpMQoC4IoQIoATAS&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cyberlink.com%2Fproducts%2Fpowerdvd%2Foverview_en_US.html&usg=AOvVaw0su_lUAx_o4H59UL0ZVrsl
