Customer Ratings & Reviews

Wow. I have not had a CD/DVD burner in years until now and this LG model did not disappoint. I've been recently archiving files and each DVD is about 5 gb each which is a cheap way to store data. I've had old media that hasn't been played in almost 20 years and this LG drive was able to run it to my surprise on my Mac. I'm very happy with it as this allows me to access my old media and archive new data that will last about 20 some years compared to SSDs. For that price alone, it was absolutely worth it and a steal. But I do recommend using DVD RWs for better archiving data while for music, use CD RWs.

I have been looking for a 14" laptop with optical drive and they are impossible to find. So I had to get external DVD drive/burner. This was the cheapest available. Another pro - it is small and light, can fir into a pocket in the laptop bag. The con - it is only shipped, no store pickup, so you pay extra for shipping. And I just don;t have extra space on my desk to have another gadget dangling of my laptop. Please bring back 14" laptops with optical drives!!!

Good price for this DVD player. Works with Windows 11. No issues at all.

Easy to set up and works well for playback. Haven't used it yet to write to it, but not why I purchased it. I don't mind the small footprint. Not much room on my desk for anything larger. So far, works well for me. We'll see how well it holds up. Flimsy plastic build so be careful not to drop it. Kind of what I expected for the price. All in all, pretty satisfied with the purchase.

It's fast, it's quite, and it's easily transportable. It works with both my computer and my Surface tablet.

This unit rocks. Newer desktop units do not come with CD/DVD drives in them. I still have some software on CD/DVD,s, plus I like to watch DVDs/Blu-rays. It just works great. Plug it in and you are rocking.

The drive is pretty compact, about the size of a plastic CD case and made entirely of plastic. It seems sturdy enough but not ruggedly so. It requires only the one USB cable for power and data which is nice. The read speed seems pretty decent and I have not had any issues using to play music cds. Overall it seems to do the job for me

Nice basic CD drive which I purchased since I don't have any disc drives at home and I occasionally need it to access programs stored on disk or come in the back of textbooks. It's a bit loud, but it's sleek and light, seems fine in terms of build. Wouldn't call it the best, but if you want something that functions well and is affordable, this is probably a good drive to get. Like it so far.

I love the product i bought,. It’s really nice using it

Works as should. I like it. Good job LG. Idk what to say.

Very portable, plays DVDs, burns discs, and everything you need for a disc drive when you don't have one for your $4000 custom computer. =)

When I got my new laptop I needed to add a DVD drive since I have many DVDs and CDs that my old desktop PC easily handled. I have connected this DVD drive to my new laptop via a HP docking station due to limited ports on my new laptop and it works fine. I did notice that when I installed a graphics program from a DVD to my new laptop that this DVD drive was much slower than my built in DVD drive on my old desktop. But at least I still can read and write to this new DVD drive.

I needed an external USB writer multi drive, after doing some research I decided to go with this one. I am so glad I purchased it. It was an easy installation and it's a great product for the price. It is sleek and not bulky. You'll be pleased with your purchase, look no further.

Nice little unit for the price. My new computer didn't come with a drive so I wanted to get an external which this is, but I didn't realize that it is labeled as 'portable.' This is fine it's just a lot smaller than what I thought I was getting but it does the job nicely.

Compact DVD drive works great. Terrific value. Automatically synchs with my computer.

Lightweight, easy to travel with, comes with plug for your laptop - easy/peasy!! Perfect for DVDs or CDs - PERFECT!

Fast slim and easy to put wherever you need to place it.I like being able to place it wherever I need to,the flatness of it, how lightweight it is and it is very fast.

With a new pc with no internal disc drive, this is essential so that cds can be loaded onto a pc - whether photos or computer program. Easy and simple to use and a life saver!! Recommend to anyone - affordable and easy to use.

Very easy to use, works as expected, small and light. Great for legacy dvd/cd use

Good unit, works well, easy install on windows 10, good value
