LG - 8x External USB 2.0 Double-Layer DVD±RW/±R/-RAM/CD-RW Drive - Black

I had an older Asus portable dvd player that still works well with computers but not with TVs. Also it requires 2 USB ports to function. Just purchased our first flat screen TVs and needed a dvd player that could be plugged in via the USB port. This LG player requires only 1 USB port to function and also works with all of our new TVs. Easy to switch it from computer to TV use and works well. Have not experienced any problems with playing audio CDs, dvds and data disks on a computer and dvds on the TV. Burning a disk is just as fast as the last internal drive I had. Have plugged it into 1 laptop and 2 desktop computers and it was recognized right away by each machine and burned data disks that work on other computers. Very light weight so easy to move around.

I'm very pleased with my purchase of the LG - 8x External USB 2.0 Double-Layer DVD±RW/±R/-RAM/CD-RW Drive. I would certainly recommend this to anyone. Plus, you get free bonus software with your purchase - added bonus! I enjoy how quick everything runs on the external USB disc drive. The drive can have some noise, but for the most part it runs super smooth and does a great job. Personal note: I'd recommend getting a USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 extender so you can move the disc drive around a bit more as the length of the cable supplied with the disc drive isn't super long.

My wife and I each purchased new MacBook Pro laptops, neither of which have a built-in DVD/CD player. When we needed to play a DVD for a presentation we purchased the LG DVD/CD player to connect to the MacBook Pro and it worked flawlessly. The price was very reasonable and we now have a way to still use our laptops for DVDs and CDs. We had no trouble connecting the LG DVD/CD player to our MacBook Pros.

I've actually had no trouble with this device until it came time to create a system restore bootable disk. I'm running Win 10 (1709/16299.125). Using Windows "Create a system repair disk" a disk IS created and the files are in place, but when I try to boot from the disk (including using both this optical drive or different ones) I get "non-system disk or disk error". Bootable disks created with other optical drives work fine.

I bought a gaming pc that didn't come with a internal dvd drive.I needed to get one for my pc, so I decided to purchase this LG external dvd drive. It was easy to setup and start using with no complications. This LG external dvd drive works the way it should and would definitely recommend for the price.

Quick and easy, plug and play setup. I purchased this device because the new laptop I purchased didn't have one. I am a mobile DJ and some of mmt clients/ customers still listen to their tunes via CD, this unit enables me to burn CD's of my mixes for them.

This is a very small DVD drive. It is not much bigger than a DVD. I sit it on top of my tower for easy access. I have only used it as a player and it works just fine. No issues. Very simple and plays movies which is all I wanted.

Needed an external drive for a laptop that didn't have a built-in drive. This does the trick; it's fast and lightweight so you don't care about bringing it in the case with the laptop. The outer case feels quite flimsy, though, so I'm concerned about durability.
