Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very simple to use! It was compatible to my Computer.

Fabulous LG Double Layer DVD/CD recorder and player. Has many features not found in other RWs. Love the look and feel and has high quality design. Highly recommend.

What I really liked about this drive and the reason I bought it is the disks are loaded from the front so you don't have to worry about keeping above the drive clear... Don't have to open a cover and snap in a disk...

Good external DVD/CD, but have had to do at least one driver update? Not sure if malware or if will continue to cause my virus software to raise alerts to it. With other models, I have not had to do additional updates after initial install and they have not triggered a potential virus alert. Had to go Google it to confirm.

I hooked everything up and it fired up just fine. Remember to read instructions for best results.

Great for travel. Simple, inexpensive, easy to use.

Why are laptop manufacturers making laptops without CD drives? Well with this CD drive the answer is mute. Just plug it in and there you go. It's great for loading old software, watching movies and copying files to disk. The only drawback is the additional expense.

Works great, able to load large files for reading surgery cases

Great purchase for your $$$. My CD/ROM stopped working on my laptop and it was more expensive to send it out for repair so this was a quick purchase that was able to get the job done. One downfall to this product is that it isn't compatible with mini disks, but they are not common use, so you'll be good with this purchase.

I bought this to accompany my new laptop, as I still have a lot of great music on CD's. It also gives me more options for downloads. The LG-8x is sleek and seems to be sturdy enough, and I have been happy with my purchase.

Works good, easy to use, very had a problem with it.

It works great, just what I needed to play DVD’s away from home. I haven’t tried to record yet.

This external DVD drive works great for laptops without an internal drive.

so handy always can record to CD or DVD on off all computers.Great as a traveller I just bring it and my flash drive to work and can copy my data for any one no more need to haul my laptop everywhere.

used it to create dvd copies for my sons wedding video we went out of town but called ahead to see if they had a DVD player they did not so we took this and a laptop to play it on beware you need a program to auto replay so you don't have to restart continually

this drive works flawlessly. had purchased a cheaper one and it wouldn't work at all. THIS ONE WAS PERFECT.

I bought this because I had lost my original external disc drive. For the price, this one is pretty good. But, I was having issues actually using it for functions such as burning CD's and putting anything onto the CDs/DVDs that I was trying to use.

This is a great addition to your laptop or computer for the money. Since many laptops do not have DVD drives, this was good to have for the every now and then thing that comes up where you need a drive like this. The cost was very reasonable as well.

I bought the Surface Book and needed a drive to install the Quickbooks software. I got this one because i was told it was metal and the color matches my laptop. Although the "metal" seems more like plastic to me, it is still very sturdy and not heavy. All in all, I would recommend this drive.

The drive doesn't look nearly as sleek in person, but it still get's the job done. Using it with my iMac and haven't had any issues. It's a bit light and doesn't feel like much, but it's getting the job done.
