    The product works fine, however windows 8.1 will not support it for dvd playback. You need to download a program for the DVD player to work.

    The internal DVD burner on my 5 year old Macbook no longer burns so I bought this (also in anticipation of replacing said macbook.) its tray loading (will work with those smaller disks), less expensive, and a lot cheaper then the apple branded slot loading external burner. Worked seamlessly right out of the box with the mac and its a quality LG branded product to boot. Highly recommended.

    Did not work on the Windows 8 tablet as expected.

    Seemed like a useful idea. Connect a DVD player to my kids tablet and then it would be a DVD player. Turns out the Windows 8 running on the tablet does not support a DVD / CD attachment. I have since learned that Windows 8 comes in many different versions, so Windows 8 on a computer, Surface, Tablet, phone, all support different functions.

    Inexpensive but decent quality. Annoyed at new laptops that don't come up a CD/DVD drive, so had to purchase an external one. Quite pleased with this one.

    It's an ok external DVD/CD RW Drive but is a bit noisy, for the price I guess you can't beat it.
