    We purchased this drive because the internal drive in our laptop quit working. The drive came with a CD with drivers, but the drivers are not available online. We haven't been able to get the drivers from LG or from Best Buy. We will now have to pay someone to upload the drivers for us. Very disappointing in this day and age to not find the drivers online! LG, get with it!

    The set up process could be a whole lot simpler. But it is a really good product once it's set up correctly.
