- A: AnswerIt 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.

DVD/Cd burner and player
I am absolutely completely satisfied and grateful for my new purchase. First of all it was on the "deal of the day" deals, secondly I was awarded a $20 gift card, the price was only $24.99 so I only had to pay $4.99 along with free shipping. Moreso I can do so many things with it, I can watcg dvds, listen to cds and burn dvds/cds from my computer to watch later. It works great and I would definitely recommend purchasing one for those of you like myself who watch a lot of movies and love music.

Fast, Quiet, Slim, Sturdy DVD Drive
I'm really impressed with this one. It has a variable speed control that allows it to be much more quiet than other drives. It runs really well with the included single USB cord and plug. It's sturdy and has very attractive design. The top has a matte finish. The USB cord has a nice snug secure comfortable fit into the USB micro port on the back of the drive. The eject button is easy to see because of its physical design, but also because there is a nice green LED light on the button. For external DVD drives, this model will be the one I use to measure others by. Thanks to LG for creating a well designed product. CONTEXT — I spent $100 on an LG DVD / Blu-ray drive that failed in about 10 months. That was disappointing... and the product photos didn't show that the USB cable has two ends — one for data and one for additional power. So, I was reluctant to buy another LG drive, but I thought I'd try this LG DVD drive. I'm glad I did.

Slim Portable DVD Writer Works Well
I purchased this drive to replace one I owned which had a non removable cable that was coming apart from the drive. This one has a standard micro usb connector on the drive for easy replacement if needed. The drive has worked perfectly so far. I have never used the write capability and may never but it has read all of the DVDs and CDs I've tried. It comes with a cord to connect the drive to a standard USB connection.
