    It's a Mini USB device that should have USB C

    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 got this because my computer does not have a DVD recorder or player. I purchased this to do my taxes and to put games on my computer. It's does what I wanted it to do, and I am quite happy with it .

    Can’t complain about it. Just keep in mind it should be placed on the desk not on the top of a computer case. If you put it on your computer it will cause vibration rattles.

    I purchased this hard drive instead of an Apple HD as they did not have Apple product. It was recommend by Apple and I took it home. The drive is easy to use and the store backs it up with service and warranty.

    I had to return this drive. After doing research and consulting the Geek Squad, I bought this drive. As it turns out I was given a raft of mis-information as to being able to use it with my Chrome Book; it will not work with that device. I wish I would have know before purchasing and returning it and wasting my time. Geeks apparently don't know everything.

    My new computer didn't have a dvd player and I thought I wouldn't need one, wrong. This works just fine and I don't have to leave it out on the desk, the cable wasn't long enough so I went and got a new one.

    Good product, but nothing special. It hasn't broken down yet, so I would say its worth it.

    I bought this to compliment a new desktop I bought around a year ago that didn’t have a CD drive. Works well and the read/write speed is fine for my purposes.

    This is a needed peripheral for the MacBookAir while there is still media I wish to import. It was fine with the one disk I have used thus far, but it took several efforts to eject the disk as instructed.
