    Since it is next to impossible to find a laptop with a cd/dvd drive and I spent so much money all ready on the computer I was looking for something cheap. For $20 this cd/dvd drive works great. Computer recognizes it with no problem and it loads fast.

    I keep looking for a reason to have an issue with it, but so far it does the job. I have a MacBook Air, so I actually wanted an apple USB SuperDrive, but for the price I just had to give the LG a try and it works just fine.

    Runs smooth and easy. It is very reliable. I wish it was slot fed instead of snapping in the CDs but since it was a cheaper option, this makes sense. For those who don't want to spend a lot of money, this is a great option.
