Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works as needed. Good price and have no complaints. Love the fact that it doesn't have a tray that ejects and just sucks in the disk.

Plugged it in and fired right up, quickly uploads content from DVDs. Had to ask Best Buy rep to look up functions (Blu-ray compatible or not - it's not BTW), because NOTHING is listed on the carton package. If it continues to function properly (only a test of time), it's a fair alternative to the name brand external drive for a better price. Haven't had a chance to put it through the paces of everything I'll need to use it for - installing software, creating backups, burning DVD video projects for clients who are not yet cloud savvy/accessible. My household is still reliant on a DVD drive to play movies on the computer during travel until all of our library is converted to digital content.

This works just as well as Apple's SuperDrive. Is cheaper, and also slightly smaller. Great Buy.

I have not gotten a chance to use it yet but I made sure I go fits my computer extender. I look forward to watching my dvds on my MacBook.

I bought this back in May of 2021. I haven't had to use it until now (Jan. 2022), so I wasn't able to write a review until now. It's super light, easy to use, and quiet. The laptop I bought when I bought this item didn't come with an optical drive, but I was able to install all of my software without one. I just upgraded 2 other desktop computers that did not have optical drives either, and I did need the drive to install some software. This came in handy.

Great little CD drive. I use this between a MAC and PC and was able to buy one and put it on the shelf for when it's needed. Reasonable price and performs as expected.

Hard to find these in this day and age. Works like it should.

This drive works most of the time. I have trouble with it loading cds of music with several errors occurring. It is quiet put I notice I have to reload cds and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It was less expensive than the Apple product by about $50. For that reason I gave it a good review. Otherwise if it was compared side by side I would expect Apple drive to be better but I don't know. I bought this to use with my new iMac that no. longer comes with a cd drive. I don't know if I would recommend it.

Needed an external drive for my new laptop. This unit does exactly as advertised. Easy to install. Takes up minimum space.

Very light, like a feather. Quiet operation, so far no overheating. I use it to burn data, music, multimedia and it does the job. No complaints.

I bought this because my computer did no come with a DVD burner/player. I love the thin sleek portability of this product. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because when I went toBestBuy to purchase the sales clerk said I would have NO problem playing my commercial DVD's on this product...WRONG you have to have an app like VLC installed to play them. I have Windows 10 so the media player would not even play DVD's with this product. Otherwise LOVE IT!

Pretty simple device. I am using this drive for both my Mac and my PC. The unit is very quiet and performs without problem on both operating systems. It has so far played and burned every thing we have asked it to.

I am using this CD drive for my MacBook Air and have not had any issues with it. It is a much better price than the Apple CD drive and seems to work just as well.

I purchased the LG 8x external DVD drive to my laptop does not have that feature. This one is sleek and lightweight. It was easy to install.

The box said it worked with Mac. However I did have to buy an adapter as Mac does not accept USB-A. Once connected the product has worked as advertised and was easy to use.

Was easy to setup and it operated very well. Size makes it easy to carry in the laptop bag

overall pleased with the product, easy to set up and fast

Works great, small and compact, good price. It is so light that you have to hold on to the DVD player to insert a DVD because it will slide, No biggie

The DVD player itself is great. The set up however, left a lot to be desired. Full instructions would have been beneficial, but, thankfully I came up thru the school of hard knocks in the computer world when we typed in DOS commands. I knew enough to look for the executable files to find the right one for the setup. Don't expect all users to be experts in software or to have the knowledge to know where to look for the info.

Decent product. I had some difficulty with the software running the machine but just uninstalled and reinstalled & whatever glitch happened fixed itself. For some reason to i can't get it to burn disks. It reads & i can transfer from disk to my laptop but i can't burn anything from my laptop.
