Super slim, fantastic plug n play optical drive
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I needed an optical drive as my 2018 Mac (as well as my work MBP) does not have one. This was primarily to pull archived MP3 data of albums burned for storage long ago. On sale for $20 - the LG was a no brainer. For Mac, none of the included software is required.. fires right up (in my case USB-A>USB-C).. Reads everything I’ve thrown at it so far.. Data discs took a little longer, but got there. 4 stars because the build quality is a little suspect. The pictures imply a metallic housing, but it’s most definitely shiny plastic. I’ve had great luck with LG.. and this seems to be no exception. Recommended!

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionDoes this come with a USB port and/or power chord or do you have to buy one seperately? Also can I record or Rewrite a downloaded AVI or WMV files on this DVD drive and play it back not only on this device, but on a DVD player?
Asked by BrotherJR.
- A:Answer It comes with a USB cable (about 20" long) and is powered by the USB port. You don't need a separate power cord. I've not tried to burn files using this drive, but the drive says it can read and write.
