    This external DVD not only attaches to my PC and MAC but also to my TV as a DVD player. It hooks up to a USB port on the TV and the remote to the TV controls it. Excellent

    I purchased this DVD-RW/CD-RW drive for my wife to use with her iMac. It was easy to use and, very simply, was a very, very good value for a low price. VERY PLEASED!

    This item works. It plugs in and runs discs efficiently. I have no complaints. That said, I've never needed an external disc drive (because all of my previous laptops have them included), so I can't really compare it to anything else.

    the laptop I bought is so slim it has no internal dvd drive so the external is needed if dvds/ cds are to be used; this is a very compact easy to use external drive

    I bought the cheapest one which work just fine. Only need it for downloading games and hardly use. I think it was a good move not to put to much money into this.

    This portable DVD writer works as expected. It is light weight and fits neatly in my Laptop case with no fuss but would have been better to have had just a little longer power cord.

    My MAC did not have a cd drive, so I bought this cd drive, and I was worried that it would take up too much space. Good thing it is small sized and light as well.

    I purchased this product after conducting some research by visiting other stores and found it to be very reasonable (cheaper than WalMart) and it worked great. The staff at Best Buy were extremely helpful and I couldn't be happier with my purchase and price.

    Needed an external just in case a machine im working on internal dvd drive doesn't work for whatever reason. This is a great alternative. Read and write speeds are okay for the price range i was looking for. LG is a great brand and i see why. Great Product.

    It does exactly what it should with no fuss. Reading and burning works on Windows and Mac without any additional drivers. It also worked fine with a laptop running Ubuntu. The case is flimsy, but that has no effect on how the drive works. Great deal overall.

    didn't try to burn anything yet, but downloaded about 100 cd's to iTunes. Didn't recognize only one copied cd, even though there were other cd's of same manufacturer. sometimes the sound coming from it sounded like it was dying but then its normal. so far so good.
