    An External Disk Drive

    I just started college and I got a computer from my mom, great, right? Only the PC didn't have a disk drive, so I asked my brother (tech whiz) what I should do, and he suggested an external disk drive. So I got the disk drive and it took me quite a bit to set it up (I finally had to go to said brother) and I finally figured out that because the PC didn't have a disk drive, it didn't have any programs to play DVDs or anything on it. Also, the installation itself was a hassle, things in this day should all be compatible with each other without any install. But it turns out I don't need it much, I can watch DVDs with our TV. So you should only get this product if you really need it, or better yet, just get a PC with a disk drive. If I used it more I would say it was worth the money though, (if you can only get a computer without a disk drive) and I would recommend it to a friend. So, basically a mixed review here.

    This is great for anyone who has a Mac that has no CD/DVD drive. I don't use them much, but do still have a few things stored on DVD/CD. This is cheap, compatible with many accessories and gets the job done.

    I purchased a laptop that did not have a DVD/CD. I did my research on external drives and decided on the LG 8x External DVD/RW CD/RW. I just needed it to make installs onto my laptop. It's not as fast as I imagined but it does the job and allows me to install software onto my laptop. I have only used the burner once. I'm satisfied with this purchase and would recommend it for normal everyday use.

    Size is perfect for desk top and traveling. This disc drive is very portable and can be used anywhere. It is a great backup tool. We use this disc drive with our surface and for downloading information from disc. I would highly recommend this disc drive to friends.
