A:AnswerThe LG LG - 8x External USB Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive - Black, Model # SP80NB80, works with most modern PC and Mac computers. It connects via a standard USB port and operates as a plug-and-play device, meaning no manual driver installations are typically needed.
It fully supports Windows XP through Windows 11, as well as macOS.
The drive features a traditional USB-A connection, and it draws its power directly from the computer's USB port. If your USB port does not supply enough power (sometimes an issue with unpowered USB hubs or very old ports), the drive may require a direct connection to the back of the host computer...^Ivan.
