    Bought this for my bedroom so we could have Netflix as well as a Blu-ray player. Very easy to set up, Wifi works great, and it's very small so it's hardly noticeable and is portable if you need it to be. My only drawback would be that it doesn't have the time stamp on the actual player, sometimes it's nice to know how far into a movie or show you are without having to press the display button. The more expensive model did have that feature though.

    Does the job well enough. Seems a bit slower than what I'm used to, however I think that's because it's USB powered and not externally powered. Small, light and travels well though.

    The LG - 8x External Double-Layer DVD RW/CD-RW Drive is lightweight and easy to use. I got this one for my office and ended up getting another one for my house. Easy to store due to the small compact size.

    I bought this player because I had a new laptop without an internal disk. I plugged it right in and played it without a hitch. Love it. Very easy and so far it has performed well.

    This is a really nice burner for the price. Good for anyone who wants to be able to burn CDs/DVDs that otherwise wouldn't been able to due to laptop not having one built in. It's quiet and easy to setup.

    I originally wasn't a fan of getting a new laptop simply because most of them no longer come with CD drives. I didn't want to have an extra piece to carry around. However, this product is pretty small and thin. It looks great. I've used it a few times now, and it works really well. It doesn't make much noise (not even close to the noise from the CD drive in my last laptop), and you can move it around, at least a little bit, without fear of it skipping or scratching the CD.

    I can't believe the computer we bought didn't have a place to put dvd's and didn't notice until I was ready to do taxes. Thank goodness there are adapters. This did the job

    I bought this external CD/DVD to replace a failed internal drive in my desktop PC. Plugged into USB and was off and running. Shortly after, my spouse's Mac Book Pro bit the big one (video died, UGH!), and was replaced by a Mac Book Air (with no CD/DVD drive). Of course, she HAD to have some CD-ROM based software added to the new computer, and I found that the external drive that I purchased worked perfectly for that one-time CD-ROM usage on the Mac. Awesome!
