It's a Mini USB device that should have USB C
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device fails to use USB C. In 2025 this is unacceptable. The pictures and description do not show that this uses MINI-USB, which should only exist on oddball legacy devices that have not become E-waste. LG should be ashamed that this uses Mini-USB. Mini USB is a deprecated standard and plug and has no business in new devices.

I would recommend this to a friend LG External Writer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a new iMac and I needed an optical drive. This LG had good reviews and when combined with the price it seemed like a win. So I purchased one and so far it's been great. I haven't burned any discs yet but for playing DVDs it's been great. I would have loved an Apple SuperDrive just to keep it all Apple but didn't want to scrape up the extra money.

Does what it's supposed to
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good companion to my MacBook Air. Good bargain for the price
I would recommend this to a friend Useful accessory
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this to use with a Toshiba satellite notebook which, of course, came without a drive. Since my use of this drive is limited to cd's, this is perfectly adequate for my purpose. It seems to be a good choice in it's price range and has functioned as expected. The only complaint I have is the extremely short USB cable included, and $5.00 on Amazon remedied that. Overall a seemingly good purchase.

I would recommend this to a friend Sleek and small
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Originally picked to go with a macbook, it goes with my hp spectre. I had to call customer service to install. I was not told I had to download a media driver to play dvds, which will be it's primary use. The media drive buttons are so small on the touchscreen it is impossible to tap them without hitting the wrong one.
