    This was a nice add on for a compact laptop without a drive. Easy setup & operation, haven't used to burn yet, but no issues with operation thus far. Great accessory for the price!

    Small laptops reqire external DVD devices. I was sure I wouldn't need one and then had to have one for a specific work task. Product recommended by Best Buy staff, and it's worked well. For those times it's needed, this does the job!

    Currently laptops and ultrabooks have no room for CD/DVD drive and flash media is being replacing this technology. However we still need CD/DVD to access old data. This drive is thin, light and not expensive. Really recommends.

    I bought this as my new laptop doesn't have a cd/dvd drive. I copied a music cd and it worked fine, a little noisy though, but that is no big deal. Easy to install, quick to copy the cd, small in size, and the price was right.

    but this came with a bundle for $20. It works great and connects to my iMac easily. If you want an inexpensive option for a dvd drive for music or just in case purposes, this is a good way to go.

    This thin little drive is excellent. Works perfectly on my MacBook Pro (retina) and iMac. Since both had no DVD/CD drive I was left with either the Apple Super Drive at $80.00 or this guy at 39.00, works beautifully.

    Nothing much to write about this External drive. It does it's job. Also it looks pretty thin and slick right next to my Imac. Very Cool. I saved some money by going with this one then going with Apples one. Mahalo

    It s an excelent option to the very expensive dvd writers. It is very slim and easy to use. It sucks that it is slow when burning data to a disc. But I don't really use it often so it is okay.

    The LG dvd drive is easy to use and portable. It is sleek. If you have a windows 8 computer make sure you have the software to support playing DVDs on this drive. I would recommend the LG brand for this product.

    Does everything it should, and power by USB means only one thing to plug in. A couple of minor issues: It's a bit noisy, and it would be nice if it could be opened when the power is off.
