    It's very easy to use when your laptop/pc does not have cd/dvd drive. Specially for format re-install windows in pc or to repair.

    my DVD hard drive failed on me. So I buy this one. Installing the operating system just plug and play. I didn't even open the manual. Thin and easy to store in my laptop bag.

    The LG burner is a great addition to any computer that supports USB connectivity. The new 2 in 1 my wife and I both purchased (one each) no longer comes with an optical drive installed. The LG is recognized and just works with windows 7, 8, and 10 Technical Preview as if it were internally installed. Works for loading programs, playing movies, writing data, and all other functions as you would expect a burner to do. Very quiet operation for a slim drive. No negative comments to report at this time.

    I bought this out of necessity, since the laptop I purchased doesn't have a built-in DVD drive. The price was lower than I expected.

    This little guy works just fine for my Mac. Sometimes it loses its place if I leave it on pause too long but that doesn't happen too much.

    Nice little LG unit that connects via USB. No bells or whistles at $39. Be sure your USB is at optimal speed or this little guy takes a while to burn at 8X.

    Bought this as an addition to my son's laptop that did not come with an internal CD drive. It is small enough to carry easily so he is never without it.

    The company issued laptop did not come with a built in CD/DVD unit. This small unit takes little room in the carrying case and is tough enough to survive being hauled around.

    Works great! I've burned CDS on this and have had no problems with it. A little noisy but for the price it doesn't bother me.

    I bought this DVD drive to work with my Mac Mini. This does the exact same thing but, it's smaller and much cheaper. No complaints and does exactly what I expect/need to to.

    This LG external unit is a great match for my new laptop that came without a CD tray. It's worked well so far, is light, easy to pack and very convenient. Looks nice too.

    With my MacPro, I still wanted a disk drive to enable me to transfer some of my CDs to my computer -- this was the device I chose. Very easy to use.
