    I've had no issues with this reader/writer. The device handles various media formats well and isn't too loud for what it should do.

    I purchased a laptop that didnt have a DVD player- this is the product that I was assured would work. It has software imbedded that you have to load and the player is not compatable with windows 8.1. Spent too much time looking for drivers, changing resolution on pc, etc. Totally frustrated that sales rep was so sure this was solution and that devise was so difficult!

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Great add on enabled reading files from CD and saving files to hard drive. Dell laptop recognized the LG DVD as an external drive.

    Small, light and portable. Connects easily. Drawer is flimsy. I must support the drawer when pushing on the CD.
