    Was having issues with my installed DVD/RW burner, purchased the LG burner, plugged in via a USB port and worked great. Keep in mind you PC won't see it till you put a disc in the unit.

    This dvd burner does pretty well at ripping cd's. It does go super slow if you're working with media that's worn. The newer your cd, the faster it seems to rip.

    Needed external DVD for new laptop, and this is what Best Buy had. It works, but a firmware update notification every time you restart is a little irritating.

    A thiner, lighter, MacBook Pro does not have room for the old dvd disk drive therefore it is necessary to purchase a separate one for disk downloads when needed. I only attach it if I need it. It works just as well as the internal version. So it amounts to do you want the convenience of an internal dvd drive for a slightly heavier bulkier MacBook Pro or willing to do without for the lighter, thiner version. Do far I haven't had any regrets.
