    Get this one. It does what it says on the box, plug and play. No setting up, no drivers to configure. In short this is how all accessory items SHOULD work.

    Excellent for what it is - a plug and play CD/DVD (recordable) drive. Well-built and super easy. Did not have to install any of the free-ware just to use it as a drive. Used it to install older PC games on a new gaming laptop and it worked perfectly.

    The product is nice and small, and uses USB power so it travels easily. And it has a very robust case. It's very easy to begin using.

    can't express how happy I am with this piece of equipment. The second you take it out of the box you know you're holding a well constructed, heavy duty piece of computer equipment. Installation was a snap and took less than 1 minute to be up and running. I didn't bother to install the DVD writer software provided as I have a favorite I always use. The software disc also comes with other packages if you choose to use them. But if you already have a DVD burner software you're ready to go the second you plug it into your computer. I burned a DVD first thing. WOW, what a difference in speed than the same speed DVD burner built into my computer. What took me up to 8 minutes to burn in the computer DVD burner took right at 4 with the LG unit. To sum up this purchase, I am ecstatic!

    I bought this as a replacement to an older disc drive. It is so much slimmer and lighter than my previous drive. The speed is great. Definitely a good travel drive.

    I purchased this because I bought a new laptop and it didn't have a disc drive. I needed the drive for several reasons and almost didn't purchase it because of the negative remarks. One stood out, "it does what it is supposed to." Knowing Best Buy I took the plunge and I'm satisfied. Note however, I don't use it for DVD, only data.
