Easy To Use and Very Reliable
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Easy to use and good replacement for older laptop with DVD/CD-RW that is having a harder time reading discs whether it's new or few scratches, you can always hear it seeking data and takes a long time for it to finally work. Once i installed the new LG 8x External USB 2.0, Windows recognized it and I installed the DVD game disc and it installed flawlessly, no more constant seek time. Bought two more for my other older laptops I use for local gaming.

Good for value
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I used this to convert my old CD’s to iTunes. It worked well for this purpose. It did take longer to download the music from the CD’s than I expected. On average it took 20-30 seconds per song. If I purchased a more expensive unit it probably would have cut the time in half, but the other drives I saw were twice the price. I think this drive was good for the value.

Excellent DVD player and writer
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.I love this thing! It will play DVDs, DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD-RW, CDs, CD-R and DVD-Ram! You can play any of those and write in DVD+R, DVD -R, DVD-RW, CD-R and DVD-Ram. It can be hooked up to any computer and TV that accepts USB. I haven`t used Double-Layer DVD+R yet.

||Posted .Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.It's a shame most computers don't come with a cd drive anymore as it ends up being another thing hanging off the tower but I get it, cds and dvds are relics of the past lol. This works as intended

Great portable DVD player
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I purchased this extra LG DVD burner/player because I have one already and find that it is very handy to have because of it performance and slim form factor. I have been using this LG DVD player/burner for a couple years already and when I saw it on sale, I decided to grab another one.

Good experience so far.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionDoes double layer DVD/+RW/R/-RAM/CD-RW Drive mean it can burn cds and DVD. I'm using HP notebook running Windows 10. I'm trying to transfer cassette tapes to cd. Will this work ?
Asked by babyface5629.
- A:Answer Yes, it will write CDs and DVDs. The abbreviation to look for is 'RW'. If the description just said 'R', then it is read only. This model is "RW' for both CDs and DVDs which means it will both Read and Write.
