    Needed to get an external DVD drive for my MacBook because the one I had from my PC days wouldn't work. This one works great on both. Was able to install the software I needed to without a problem. Plus it's an attractive drive and easy to carry in my bag. Would definitely recommend.

    I recently purchased a new laptop and it did not have disk drive. This LG was the deal of the day and I figured I couldn't go wrong. Well, I was RIGHT! the product is very simple to install and use. it does what it's supposed to and is very portable and easy to take with you on the run.

    I needed an external cd/dvd unit for my Surface pro tablet - one of the Best Buy advisers suggested this one and it fits my needs perfectly. Great price, rugged (just survived a 2 week cruise!) and extends the functional use of my tablet by quite a bit.

    No cd/dvd drive in new Macs is a little annoying when installing software. This drive was simple to setup (plug into USB) and easy to use. Is very thin, so I would not recommend moving it around a lot. It sits on my desk and is only used sporadically.

    I need a simple DVD/CD writer for an ultrabook that I had purchased. The LG fit the bill on all points: price, functionality, quality of product. i have to say the only issue I had was related to Windows 8, and thats just because I dislike Windows 8.
