    No installation required. Simply worked as soon as it was plugged into the thunder port. Excellent performance at a rock bottom price.

    DVD player works great. Very light and almost noise free. I gave 4 stars because software that came with it wouldn't work on my HP laptop with Windows 10. I had to find and pay for my own software. Note: my fairly new laptop did not come with a player as previous Windows versions did.

    The external DVD has a decent read and write speed and it functions as it supposed to. Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase and the reasonable price.

    My current laptop doesn't have a disc drive and I needed to quickly rip/burn a couple of CDs for my daughter and didn't want to pay an arm and a leg. Definitely worth the cost. Quick and quiet, too!

    I got this to use with a notebook that has no drive so I could transfer cds to iTunes. Much faster than my drive in a laptop, and well worth the money.

    I bought this LG CD/DVD burner to use with a new laptop. I tested it by burning a scuba diving instruction video onto DVD-R media and this DVD plays on the DVD player that's connected to my HDTV! So there's no doubt that it works flawlessly!

    This is a great way to avoid throwing away a pc with no disc reader. Our stand alone system doesn’t need to connect to the internet, just read and write disc.
